I spoke with the owner of the property I want ownership of, and she is tentatively in agreement with the terms of my offer! Formal offer in the mail tomorrow!
(Sorry, I'm psyched and wanted to share) ;D
I totally understand those emotions, Frank. 150% :) :)
Congratulations! Good luck on all of it. From over here in the Peanut Gallery it sounds like you have a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market that is not as crazy as it was some months back. Piece o' cake! (Mmmm. Cake...)
We bought our place in the California Gold Country in early 2005 during one of the many real estate run-ups. We'd done our homework and visited lots of places. By the time we came to the one we got, we new we had to have it, which was bad.
Well, I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I said something about an offer and the agent looked at us like we were crazy, stupid, and possibly dangerous to ourselves and others. She explained how things worked out there, realized she was talking about her commission, and became a lot less talkative. The buyer was happy with our offer and everything went like a shot.
Thanks for sharing. It's great to remember how it feels and to know its happening for other folks! :D
Good luck NM_Shooter on your offer :) :)
Sounds great, NM.
