Pre closing Inspection Day- Saturday

OH NO. She is a long way from out, Some or our furniture was mistakenly moved to storage and more was packaged to go so we called the realtor who failed to make the appointment and updated her.  She talked with the other realtor and we found items returned that day instead of next week as proclaimed.

Felix the cat

She has a cat who has only lived at this address and she wants us to adopt it.  It is neither an indoor or outdoor cat as it goes out when it wants but is not sufficiently independent to make it outdoors.  We must decline.

Preclosing Inspection Day 2- Sunday

Still lots to move but she has some help.

Closing day March 11

She signed her papers at 9am with the plan to return for her money at 3pm.  We check the house again at 11 and she still has a lot to move.  She apparently doesn’t understand but our realtor explains it very succinctly to her.  We agree to close at 3 but escrow a portion of her proceeds for a complete out by noon the next day.

Closing day +1

Pictures come of a clean house just before the noon deadline and a clean shed shortly after our reminder.  But when we arrive around 1pm there is still much to remove from the porch and the house and shed.  Seems you can stage a picture to demonstrate your position.

We help her move the rest of the stuff from the shed and house and change the locks.

Closing day +2

We arrive to find piles of stuff abandoned on the lawn and driveway.  Must all be junk at this point.  We spend the day cleaning the house and trying to get the internet working prior to our delayed move in tomorrow.

Day 3

Now let’s see if I can get the motorhome up the driveway.  Slow and bumpy and steep.  Whew made it and only scrapped the jacks at one point at the top where it levels out too quickly for the long wheelbase.  We can do this!  It settled in near the shed and the extension cord reaches the porch. Now to move stuff into the house.

When I contacted the internet provider he confirmed the power supply for his microwave equipment was missing and he would bring one by the house on the way to the office tomorrow morning since he is a neighbor.  He stayed and helped with the setup of our router in the Verizon dead zone by hotspoting my phone with his AT&T phone to permit initial setup.  Guess we need to change to AT&T.
