A lot has happened since my last post. Not all of it was fun or enjoyable which has been the usual for this home transition process. I really can't wait for all of this to be over.
Landon
We had our pre-settlement walk through on Friday with our Ryan Homes Project Manager and his sidekick. He basically showed us through the house and went over things and their warranty. He had a few small open items such as a replacement cabinet has not yet arrived along with the replacement garage door panel. He said this wasn't an inspection, but for us to make a list and he'll have them addressed at the 30 day review mark. He also had a bunch of papers to sign and went over his survey.
He asked when do we close as we were supposed to be closing today.....seriously.....today I was supposed to be signing papers. We told him we were told it would be another 4 weeks. He made sure we knew his survey was separate of NVR mortgage. He said he would call someone, but I doubt he has any pull to move NVR along.
NVR
Our mortgage broker seems to be passing the buck and not taking command of getting us a closing date. NVR points the finger to Clearview and Clearview points the finger back to NVR. Neither is able or willing to propose a closing date. What is super annoying is that NVR keep harassing me for stuff that I'm waiting on from Clearview and told them that. I have tried to call people and no one is answering their phones today......so I guess today isn't the day we find out if we close on November 12th.
Home Buyers
Our 2nd set of home buyers are backing out. We fully disclosed the prior inspection report and they knew what they were purchasing. After their home inspection, they feel our fuse box needs replaced even though we discussed it with them before they ever saw the house. This is so dam frustrating dealing with kids who sign contracts to buy and then weasel out of the purchase via the home inspection. My house is under market price due to condition but they still expect me to spend thousands for replacement of working systems so they feel safer. I'm tired of all the young buyers getting cold feet after they sign on the line.
Hopefully this week will be better.
Hopefully we will get to live in our new house instead of looking through the windows.
Thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteI respect you for disclosing that information for your buyers. We backed out of our first home purchase after finding out that they had hidden a poor inspection which would eventually turn up over 100k$ worth of needed fixes structurally which we could not stomach. The realtor definitely knew there was something up because two buyers had backed out prior and they made us front all of the inspectors costs (including two supplemental expensive engineer opinionators) then wouldn't budge on price or split the inspectors costs. They also wouldn't accept the reports given (I suspect so they did not have to disclose to future buyers....)
Through the rain comes sunshine! Chin up good things are coming :D
