Where we last left off…
-Name Issue With Escrow:
Somewhat fixed with an addendum to the contract. Was signed and sent off this morning.
But that has led to another issue…LOAN DOCs! We can’t go anywhere without the loan docs…They were suppose to be done on Tuesday and sent to Escrow on Wednesday…HA HA HA HA HA HA! The name issue has put all that fun stuff on hold…joy!
SHOW ME THE MONEY
We all know that it takes a lot of money in fees and what not to close a real estate deal…Because of how close we are to our max $$ wise,The Other One (I haven’t figured out a good name for him yet on here) decided to take some of it out of his 401k to give us a little cushion. The Other One’s boss swore up and down that getting the check to our hot little hands would be quick and easy. So,we asked for the amount to be taken out on Monday (12/07) so we could get the check by Wednesday and overnight it to escrow by Friday…cause you know,we have been shooting to close this whole thing by the 15th of December…. yeah…that’s next Tuesday.
Back to real time,The Other One asked his boss today about the check…and her response to him was “I haven’t ordered it yet.”WHAT THE HECK! You would think that the office manager of a REAL ESTATE company would know the importance of time lines and needing to get funds to escrow…I guess not. So now,I’m going to say the absolute earliest that we are going to be able to get The Other One’s 401k check is Monday…if we are lucky. All the work that both of us do for The Real Estate company,they should just write us a check and say Merry Christmas.
So what was turning out to be a VERY smooth transaction has turned out into this massive mess of crap…right at the end…. on a scale of 1-10 the frustration &stress level is a 14.
