ktgrok Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 We decided to up our offer - asking is 423K, we had originally offered 433K, going up to 435K. Realtor has contacted the seller to let the know to expect a new contract and is writing it up now. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Did I mention there are WINDOWS and NATURAL LIGHT? My current house is like a freaking CAVE. Not even ONE window in the living room/dining room, just the door sidelights which have curtains over them. ONE window in the family room, that is small, and due to the patio roof shading it never has much light coming in. And my oldest and I are SO sensitive to light - we are practically photosynthetic. I HATE how dark this house is. All the ones we are looking at have actual natural light! Photos will be deleted later - 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so spacious!!! Well, the pictures of that front room are a bit decieving, it isn't quite as big as it looks. BUT...I don't NEED that room to be big. The family room in the back really is large. And i mean, the house is over TWICE as many square feet as we have now. That's huge! Just now, Scarlett said: I love it! Love, love, the light.

ktgrok Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 So, the sellers realtor isn't sure if modifying existing offer and initialing is okay, or if he wants a whole new contract, and said he'd get back to us (well, our realtor). She thinks he is just very inexperienced, but it may be that they don't care cause they already are going with someone else, I don't know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current house (bought in May 2020) has a very dark hallway and I hate it. I've been looking at various doors with glass just to let light in there. I started to include your photos but then noticed you'll be deleting them so you probably don't want them quoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 So, new drama! My realtor has been schmoozing theirs all day. At 6pm their (brand new realtor) asks for mroe financing info. Turns out, the letter the lender sent me, with my "you are pre approved" email stated prequalification in one spot, instead of pre approval. I emailed and left voicemail for lender not expecting to hear back until tomorrow, and sure we'd lose out by then. But..lender emailed me back 20 minutes later - it was a mistake, and he sent me the new, corrected pre-approval letter! So realtor is sending that to the buyer. And all this WHILE my husband is on the phone trying to deal with the cell phone company about upgrading a phone and he's asking me questions because it is buy one get one free so what color case do I want, and 4 yr old can't figure out "how to build a claw machine" and my father is texting me about how he doesn't like realtors. (I reminded him he doesn't like people, in general. He agreed, lol) Now, to dish out the stew I made earlier, and do read alouds with the kids. DD11 got out of her writing lesson with me today because of this...she is not heartbroken at all 🙂 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even had a cash offer for more, but the seller's agent like my agent, and the sellers liked having a family move in rather than it being bought by a corporation (the letter helped!). Now...to make sure financing goes through - they need stuff like a letter showing that DH's teaching job is year round, not a 9 month thing, etc etc. 81 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
