For all the weeks of ease we've had in building a house, we are definitely paying for it this week! Our troubles began last week when our real estate agent, Susan, went MIA. We were starting to get anxious because items that still needed to be changed, added, etc. were left undone.
Just as we were getting ready to send out the blood hounds, we received a call from another agent on Saturday (of all days) informing us that Susan changed real estate agencies. This new agent, Bob, assured us everything was okay and that we could still work with Susan and complete the close.
Apparently this was not the case.
Jeremy found out a few days later that we were, in fact, no longer working with Susan. This presents a highly tricky situation as Susan still represents the builder, but we legally signed into our contract with Century 21, her old agency. Although we were sad to see Susan go, we didn't have much time for mourning because we needed to get the house ready for closing next week and there were still items left to be finished.
So our new buddy Bob has been saving the day left and right. Fortunately for him, we made the transition process much easier by compiling a list of various items, objects, and alcoholic beverages that needed immediate attention. Just a quick side note, as you may have guessed, we actually did not submit the last portion of that list to Bob, but one could feasibly say that after our hellish week, I think he can afford to buy us a few.
And that leads us to today. We're happy to see our requests are being fulfilled and the hiccup in the process has passed. To celebrate all the changes and the extremely near completion of the exterior of the house, we've uploaded a ton of photos to the link at the top of the page for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
