We changed gears faster than Flash Gordon...

So I wrote the last post... And then the phone rang. It was the Broker. Loan approved! The Realtor was there with the Broker, they are in the same building so it was an easy thing to do. Our super fantastic Realtor, Derrick Oh, said that he had already contacted the Seller's Agent and had given him a heads up on our interest in the property. He would be expecting our offer in the morning and was very excited to be working with us! We were the first call! (Can you hear the screams of excitement from here?)

At this point in the conversation I am jumping up and down and crying my eyes out because I am so happy! (You mean I get to live in the Barbie Chalet? And we get to KEEP it? All of my dreams that I thought were going to have to be placed on hold until the next home are jumping up and down in excitement...)


So then Derrick tells us that he will meet with us after we meet with the Broker tomorrow morning to draw up the papers. (Note that both the Broker and the Realtor were supposed to be going away on vacation tomorrow. I know, they are just the best! And like I have been saying for days upon days now; I LOVE Derrick!)

Then Derrick called me back to hold my hand a reassure me that we would be getting the offer in on time, that he had talked to the Seller's Agent again and that we'll be faxing it all over and that it was all good, all the way around. We went over the reports (The tests have already been done, the reports already given to us.) and are ready with a game plan.

It is everything that I spoke about with my first meeting with Derrick. (And he recalled everything that I said I was looking for.) And this home fits the original list to a tee! (And... Are you ready for this? It is not much more than the other home. Without all the downsides.)

Side note on the other home. We looked at it again. Really, really looked. And it has more problems than we originally saw. Like cracks in the pool and the addition not being on a foundation that we can see... Yeah... Still a good deal, but not as good as we thought. And headaches. Potentially big headaches. (This new home does not have that. What it has are all the permits in order, all the test done, everything sound.)

So wish us more luck, yet again. And keep those fingers just a little more crossed than before... Tomorrow morning is going to be huge!
