Tuesday-4pm

Tuesday at 3:00pm the escrow company called to see if we could be at their office by four! Wow, thanks for the notice! Anyways, we are so excited that we've made it this far, that we both figure out how to leave work early and make it to the escrow company by four. Well our excitement slowly faded as we waited and waited in the lobby. When we finally met with the escrow manager, our visions of a HGTV style closing, vanished from our minds. This lady was awful! She was rude, and didn't feel the need to explain any of the documents to us. She then asked us for our down payment, and said she didn't show a deposit of $5,000 that we had given as earnest money! I was really upset because the money had already cleared our bank, and she was saying that there was no record of it. Well, one quick phone call later, that was all straightened out, but she never apologized for assuming that we were lying about the money. She also said that it might not be possible to receive possession of the keys until the following week! I was really upset because I was leaving on a business trip to Las Vegas, the day we would be receiving the keys! Anyways, one hour later we were on our way out of there, annoyed with our experience, but eager to get our keys... I frantically called our real estate agent, Tami, and she helped calm Brendan and I down. She was also annoyed that we had a bad experience with the closing company. Oh well, everything worked out, and now we're on our way to becoming home owners!
