Happy but Sad


Budweiser

896 views

Well, I got a call today with my wife (separated) and we got a offer for our house. It was lower than wath we were asking but the realtor took the commision lower from 5% to 3% so buy the end we are still getting the money we wanted. We were so happy that we are agreeing the offer and the end of it will be the last of October. I'm happy that I don't have to deal with the house and the new apartment but at the same time i'm sad as it was our first house. I did so much for that house (fence/deck/basement etc...).

 

I'm going to buy another house one day for me and Bud.

 

There is some pics of my house (I put it in my album). The front (deck and flowers I did it all) and the basement I did all except the bar.

 

Not bad with a one arm bandit.

Bill,

 

Moving on his always a mixture of emotions, especially when a separation and a stroke are involved. We had to sell two houses after my husband's stroke and it a great relief to get offers on them but I sure understand the sadness you talk about. We had it, too. Leaving a place you put a lot of love and work in is hard. For us, though, it also lead to a life style that turned out better than we'd planned.

 

Good luck with the closing and the doors this will open up for you!

I m glad your house got sold to your liking, its not those 4 walls that makes it a house its people in it who makes it a home, Man I m impressed with your ability to finish basement and gardening & stuff, wow if you can do tht with 1 hand, then I can just visualize what you can do with 2 hands. I m sure lot of new doors will open up for you and bud.

Bill,

 

It could have been worse. The day before my house was suppose to close, it came to light that the so-called-buyer didn't even pay the earnest money and the two real estate agents covered up that fact. They backed out of the sale and my house was off the market for two months because of them. They were suppose to take possession at the closing which meant I had already emptied it out and was paying storage fees I didn't need to pay.

 

Yes, I did report it to the real estate board because what the agents did was illegal. The so-called buyer was a minister so they trusted him and screwed me at the same time.

WOW, what happened?

 

My person that bought our house has sold his house. The condition is if his house was good by the bank on the other person. My first house the lady had no money. I had a feeling that she wasn't getting the money from the bank, that wasn't a surprize on me.
