Offer Accepted


Just got off the phone with our Realtor, Darbi. She said our offer was accepted. Now we have to get it inspected by Wednesday. Closing date is on or before 2/28.

They accepted our offer of 143,500, and it is still contingent on an inspection. We had a good feeling about this one. It went a lot quicker than the other offers we put in. One house it took the bank 1 week to tell us they were accepting a different offer; then the second house twisted things around for two weeks about whether or not the house could be FHA approved, and then after we had an appraisal done on the house, the realtor said the bank wouldn't accept an FHA loan anyway. After two weeks he hadn't even given our offer to the bank. We said forget you and moved on. Now this house we put in the offer on Monday, they countered on Tuesday, we countered back, and then they accepted today!

Pizza/painting party anyone?
