Trying to Sell a House Sucks!

Okay, so I’m not a happy girl at the moment. You know the house has been under for contract for weeks now. Today was the deadline for the second extension the buyers have taken. We get a call from our realtor saying that the buyers’ loan fell through due to the age of our house. The house is 112 years old. The house inspection was done over a month ago and it passed. It didn’t magically just become that old. It was that old when they put the contract on the house. It has been that old the whole time the loan company has been doing the paperwork. Sounds fishy to me!


You want to here the really funny part? Our realtor asked if we wanted to keep the earnest money or give it back to the buyers. WTF kind of question is that? Of course we want to keep the check. We have had to make two more house payments on this house while waiting for closing. Isn’t that why they have earnest money anyway, too help protect the sellers? We just talked to the lawyer yesterday who said all was well and we’d be closing today. Ugggg…

The realtor was going to contact three other buyers who were interested in our house when the current buyers put in their bid. Maybe one of them will pan out. Until then, we get to keep on paying a mortgage and rent, which really sucks!
