My DW is like a bloodhound for good real estate deals. We live in a largish home in a nice neighborhood but our children are getting ready to move on so we have been looking for something smaller and, well, more mustachian.
On Saturday, she found it! An older home on 2.5 acres which is just what we are looking for. Perfect place for bees, the garden, a couple of outbuildings for the (too many) cars, etc. etc. We contacted an agent from the listing agent's office to set up a time to look at the place AND BUY IT. Did I mention that it was listed for 30K?
Unfortunately, I had to leave on a business trip on Monday morning and DW doesn't get home until 6 PM. God forbid you should show a house at 630! So, I emailed the guy today and told him to set up a time on Thursday that would work for his oh-so-busy schedule. He responded back to say there is now an accepted offer and that he is sorry.
Sorry, indeed.
I know it really isn't his fault (or anybody's) but I am still a little steamed over the whole thing. Maybe next time!!
Thanks for listening to my sob story. That is all.
