PRAISE REPORT !!!
My youngest, Alexandra, has bought a house, her first home ! The inspection is this Friday, and if everything goes OK, which we believe it will,she will close on the 4th or 5th of September, and move in shortly afterwards.Her loan has already been approved. The house was an estate sale, and the price was good !
She has been pursuing buying her own home for the past couple of years. She didn't have any luck, as she was outbid every time.She put everything on hold when Roy got sick.Her focus was to help take care of her Dad until the end.
In 2 days she found this house, and there is a real spine tingling story to go with it, so hold onto your seats !
A good friend of mine lives 5 doors down from this house. He knew the people who lived there, an old couple who had lived there for more than 50 years.The house was upkept meticulously.
Here's the good part: The house was listed for only $139,900. People bid on it. Alexandra had to come up with a bid amount, without knowing what the other bid was, per confidentiality. I was going to tell her to bid $145,000. A voice came into my head, and told me $147,777. I told Alexandra that. She said no, $147,000 even. I persisted and told her it HAD to be $147,777.We went back and forth and she finally relented and put in the bid for $147,777. The other bid was exactly $147,000. If she would have bid that amount, the other people would have got it, as they bid first.
