Home Stretch

It is a harmonious place, the country house. But getting here has been a royal pain in the butt.

Today is the last day before we sign, after a month of dealing with a nonresponsive seller's agent and seller.

They could have made this process easier. Had we worked through the details of the contract earlier and, say, replied to our minor requests on the addendum. Had they honored the Notice to Perform and installed the water heater and HVAC a week ago, so it could have been tested and contingencies removed.  Had they done that, it wouldn't have to be a photo finish.

But that's what they wanted and that's how it's been. All we have been in charge of is what we needed to do so we were ready. We worried incessently and second guessed ourselves. Maybe it wasn't such a viable plan and did we make a mistake? Is it an omen ...

The owner of the LLC is out of town on holiday and a more reasonable person with power of attorney, everything is moving very fast. CheckCheckCheckCheck!

Monday we'll know.
