Hampton's Home-buying Happenings --We have a decision...

So I was at work as usual when I remembered I scheduled a meeting to sign papers about the house.  I raced out of the office to the place I should have been 10 minutes before I actually arrived.  While checking in I missed a call from Mikki, so I gave her a call back.  She had been trying to get in touch with me since the night before.

She had something important to tell me, they reviewed the offer and accepted it!!!  Yay, one step closer to owning a home!  Now the important details...financing...I have a lot to say about this and cannot do it just right now...I will update in the next few days...this process is exciting which leads to exhaustion!  

Hampton's Home-buying Happenings Placing an offer..

So Tuesday was a really big day for me.  My kid had a performance at school, and she was awesome.  Beyond that, it was the big day.  It was "Make an Offer Day".  I met Mikki at Subway none the less, (I love that she is so accommodating) to sign the offer.  We had talked earlier in the day and decided to offer $1000 above list and ask for a new fridge, counter tops and closing costs.  It was a little nerve racking.  We gave until Friday at 5 PM for them to make a decision on the offer.

I was not worried about them accepting or countering the offer.  I believe this is my house and I guess I don't feel like things will be anything but decent and in order when it come to the whole situation.

I have since had to sign many papers and prepare many documents that reflect income and such.

So I waited to hear back on Wednesday...

I heard on Wednesday that the listing agent had no issue with putting a Fridge in the house...Uh yeah, a good sign!
