WELL WE DID (MAYBE) BUY A HOUSE.

This has been the strangest business transaction I have ever been involved in.  Boy, oh boy, oh boy,.  I made an offer that was a clean and clear cut offer.  Offer was accepted and then the agent's just screwed up the whole thing.  An earnest and willing seller, an earnest and willing buyer.  Two agents and two brokers just plain flat dropped the ball and then they tried to cover the fact up with creating excuses for the buyer and for the seller.  Her fault verses her fault - just look at the seller miss buyer and miss buyer just look at miss seller.  Hoping that buyer and seller would be so busy finding fault in each other that they would not see the actions or lack of actions of the agents involved.  

The whole thing just was not even workable so I went directly to the seller.  Someone in this mess had to actually preform.  The seller had been put into a horrible situation and I just know that she was being lied to. At first I thought that she would not talk with me but thank heaven she did.  Bottom line was she does want to sell and I do want to buy.  So I found another agent that wrote another offer today and he notified the listing office that he had an offer and they will present.  

Mean while I gave notice to the landlords that I had for my one house where my stuff is stored and the other house where we are sleeping that we were moving as of the 30th so they have the places both rented to other people starting on the first and we have no where to move to.  

Between talking with the seller, taking care of Ken and his needs, writing an offer I found an agent to look for a rental for me to move to here in P.V.  I will look and rent the place tomorrow and then connect with the movers and drive back to Cuyutlan and move our stuff that day to P>V>.  

On Wed. I was on the phone with my old agents trying to figure out what the heck was going on and at eight in the evening figured out that if this transaction was going anywhere, I better drive to P.V. and talk with the seller and put it together.  A pillow has not touched my head since and it is Friday.  Today I have to drive back to Cuyutlan and then turn right around and drive back to P.V.  Maybe by Monday I will get some sleep.  Lucky for me I learned how to do 20 minutes of power sleep and on the road I would just pull over and sleep for 20 minutes and I would be ok for several hours.  

Having done everything that I could possibly do to purchase this house I will put it in God's hands and proceed forward by moving today to P.V.  Hopefully when I get back, the seller will have been given the new offer and things will be moving forward.  If not, then I will just have to accept that maybe it is for the best for the seller and Ken and I.

So until I get to somewhere that I can sleep in a bed I will bid you all fair well.
