If you've ever had "one of those days," then you know the kind of experience Gail and I have been having with regards to our attempts at buying a house ( Read more... )

I have bought a house and it is by far one of the most complicated things I have ever had to do.

*Wishing you both all the best of Luck with all of it*

Success! Your luck has paid off!

Give Gail a hug from me, and tell her to give you one from me. Hang in there...

Don't worry. We close tomorrow, and everything's a-ok!

Yay! That's excellent!

Sorry to Hear of all of your Housing Woes, I am sending what good vibes I can from here. and wish you luck. IF (and god do I hope not) the house turns into the "Money Pit" I will offer what technical expertise I can from here (4 Years at Home Depot I am bound to learn something) and who knows maybe I will find myself in the OKC area and willing to do some flooring or tile work for you... you never know.

We wish to arrange this meeting. When Gail and I have money. And are ready for the flooring to begin.

How long has your realtor been a realtor, and how many homes have they closed on? Because from what I can tell from listening to house-buying woes from people at the office, shit happens all the time. ALL THE TIME. Maybe not necessarily those specific things, but still. Maybe every setback your realtor experiences is unbelievable to him/her. Maybe when he/she goes through the drive-thru and gets a hamburger instead of a cheeseburger, he/she has the same reaction.

I dunno. It's a complicated and stressful thing, especially for first-timers, and especially if you're young first-timers (this is apparently a strike against you in the realty world). Not looking forward to it, myself. Good luck, kids.

I will eat those cheeseburgers ... and then ... YOUR SOUL.

Oh, not again!

Your realtor sounds like a someone who can't get things done if they've been in the service for however many years and they can't somehow help you out in these situations. I think some neighborhood appraiser knee-capping is in order too.

good_ol_don April 23 2007, 23:56:05 UTC

I agree. Neighborhood appraiser knee-capping, commence.
