Sometimes I feel like thumping my head against the wall. We were to close
the 24th but late last week they told us it was slipping a day. No problem
I need the day to complete the move. Then Monday we were told the house my
wife is buying would not close on the 27th but maybe on the 7th. We
thought we had to be out of here on Friday so we made
arrangements. Meanwhile I completed getting my shop in storage and the
rest of my stuff out of here. I was on my way out of the door made the
last run to storage when I got a message that there was a problem with the
closing and it may not happen until sometime next week. then I got another
phone call that another paper needed signed.
It took a few phone calls and a visit to the escrow office to find out what
was going on. It seems that the loan documents were not ready as promised
and they are hoping for today but are not sure. Once they are delivered
then the buyers have to sign, then they have to be recorded, then we can
let the new owners have the place and I am free to go.
The paper to be signed is on the other house and is not important but
somehow in the various escrow companies they inflated its importance and
attached it to the selling house. It took several phone calls to get that
straightened out. There is also a problem with getting the current owners
stuff out of the house and the transfer company kept not showing up and
also sat on a paper they were not sure who had to sign.
