They pulled out of escrow…

Tuesday night I was sitting on the couch watching TV, drinking my wine when I received a text from Patrick, our real estate agent at 10:00 p.m. saying “If you’re awake call me.”  I instantly knew it was bad news and called him within seconds. 

We had been waiting on a certain issue which I assumed had come back poorly but instead the issue still hadn’t been resolved and the buyers just decided to pull out.  What? 

Of course I was sad, but I had felt like something wasn’t going well because everything was too quiet around the deal and the waiting was killing the process.  I barely slept after I heard the news and was up at 4am Facebooking and checking emails.  I finally got out of bed and started making the meals for the day at 5am.

I met with Patrick to talk about the deal and felt like he had done everything in his power to keep it together but sometimes these things happen.  I decided to make another trip to TJ Maxx to accessorize the house even more and buy a few new plants for the front entry.  Stuff gets broken and trashed here on a daily basis so even though I had the house perfect a month ago that doesn’t mean it is perfect today.

As I was unloading the car from my shopping trip a couple drove up in a very nice car and asked if they could see the house.  They were a very sweet older couple looking for a house for their son. You know me, of course I let them in.  Shhhh, don’t tell Lou!

I showed them around and they were very interested!  I was so excited I called Patrick right away to tell him and he said he was getting lots of calls on our house the moment he re-listed it on the MLS. 

So as this moment I am feeling really good that maybe there was a reason they pulled out.  Maybe it was meant to be? I am going to assume everything will work itself out and I know Patrick will do everything in his power to make this happen for us.

The downside?  I really am not looking forward to keeping the house clean constantly but maybe it will sell in a few days like last time and maybe this time for cash.  So keep praying for us and keeping your fingers crossed.
