We finally heard from the buyers about the home inspection. Of course, they requested we fix everything! When I first saw their requests I was completely overwhelmed. After talking with some friends I was feeling better. Then, my sister and her husband, Rebecca and Mike, came over to the house for dinner. One of the things that the buyers are requesting us to fix is a crack in the foundation. Mike looked at it both from the inside and out and I am feeling a whole lot better about it. I do have a contractor coming out on Monday to give me an estimate and his professional opinion of what should be done. This is definitely not a deal breaker, thank goodness!
So, we will go back to the buyers with what we feel is fair and after they hopefully accept and agree to it then next step will be for them to submit a commitment letter for their finances. They have til Monday, Sept. 30th to submit it. According to our agent, the letter needs to be submitted regardless of whether or not we are still going back and forth about the home inspection issues. After that, we are hoping to move the closing date sooner then Oct. 31st.
I spent this last week packing, and packing, and more packing! I think we are in pretty good shape! I have just a few more odds and ends but for the most part we are ready to move! It looks like we will be storing our things for now and hanging out with Tammie and Lenny (Keith's sister and brother-in-law in Maryland) for a few months until we find a new home in MD.
We'll keep you updated. Thanks again for your prayers and for tuning in!
