House Inspection/Update

Last week we had the house inspection done. We had a GREAT inspector, very thorough with his work - to the point of checking to see if EVERY outlet in the house worked. To top it all off, we had a very professional report THAT NIGHT!! He sent us an email with a username and password so we could access it online and then also mailed the report. There were minor things on the list, that was it. There was a gas smell that the gas company is coming tomorrow to look at. The only thing that sucks is that the owners told us they were going to touch-up paint the house. It is a relocation and State Farm owns the house. Now they are saying they are not doing anything cosmetic to the house - including painting. They also won't let us in early just to paint because it is a liability. So, I get to patch holes (they have huge sheetrock screws/anchors still in the wall throughout the house) and paint with furniture in the house. YUCK!

The good news is there is a chance we could close as early as Tuesday. It was sent to underwriting yesterday. It usually takes 48-72 hours. If they have everything they need, we could possibly close the day the title company gets it or the next day. Everyone knows the situation with us and they are all working hard to get us in asap!

Keep your fingers crossed!
