It's CLOSING DAY!!!

[JeepMom]

We are going to be doing a dry closing today.

That means, I get the keys, sign all the papers, give them my check. BUT the realtor and seller don't get their money yet. The sellers bank is slow with the payoff. The title won't actually switch banks/names until mid-week next week.

Because *someone* was doubtful on my closing costs, I'll post my sheets sometime over the weekend. Our total closing costs including earnest money are right around $1,600.

This is our 3rd, we've learned a lot of lessons with the previous two. We have some major painting/cleaning to do this weekend. If we get it done by Sunday on Monday we'll start moving. If not, then we wait until the Holiday weekend and start moving!

I am so proud of you JeepMom, I see my self in that position about this time next year. ENJOY IT. you've done good.

I told dh this mornign before he left for work I felt like I truely accomplished this and made this possible. He makes the money but I've done 95% of the actual leg work to get this done. It's scary though that I have purchased a house in his name and no one has ever talked to him directly on the phone.

A new start in life, in a new place, with new dreams......

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.............

It's not closing day anymore....BUT I'm still getting the keys in a about 45 minutes!

The sellers bank has put a stall on things. The sellers are still handing us the keys because they know we need to get in and paint.

Sorry to hear that JM. Hopefully things will iron themselves out and you can shoot for monday. In the meantime, enjoy painting over the weekend. Congrats!

Did you get your keys, JM? Hope so - there's something so satisfying about walking through your own new home and dreaming about everything you want to do to make it your own. Enjoy the joy!
