So … we have an appointment to sign the contract on Tuesday evening but the realtor isn’t showing up. They finally call and they are not showing up because they haven’t received the contract yet. Since it is already late, there is no reason to be calling the other agent. We awaken at 5am this morning (OK … so Jake is already awake and he just gets me up at 5am) for our journey to Arkansas. We have appointments Thursday and Friday and decide to leave town anyways. I am basically tired of waiting for this buyer to do anything. Whatever happens, happens … or not!?!
We received another call Tuesday evening from the Centralized Showing Service that asks if they can show the house on Wednesday morning. After consulting our agent, we understand that the house should be shown until a signed contract is in hand. We were going to make certain that the blinds were all open and the house was clean for showing as it has become a habit these days.
Fast forward to Wednesday again and our agent returns a call about lunch time which advises us that the other agent still hasn’t received the contract from the buyer. They are supposedly still getting their act together. OK, patience is a virtue! And, oh by the way, the people who looked at the house this morning have a couple of questions. So we go over the questions with our agent and discover that she knows more about our area than we do. Guess that is why we hired them, right?
Fast forward another couple of hours and the real estate agent is on the phone yet again. No contract from the first buyer BUT she has a contract in hand from the people who looked at the house this morning and the offer is for $5000 MORE than the first offer! Goodness gracious! God is not only good but also in charge!!! I have been counting on Him throughout this process and, as always, He seems to know what He is doing. This selling experience has been interesting to say the least!!!
