The rental house happened crazy fast. I called on Thursday morning to say I was interested–he told me he was on his way to Shakopee and could meet me at the house in 10 min. I jumped in my car and headed over there. We talked that morning and agreed that Tim should see it that night. By 10:00 Thursday night we had agreed to meet the next day (Friday) to sign the agreement.
So, roughly 24 hours after I called him we signed the contract.
That’s fast.
We tried to push out the date of taking ownership to next week since we really didn’t need to get in yet (we don’t have to be out of our current house until August 30th) but he was insistent on us starting right away. So we figured it was worth the extra cost to have a place to live lined up.
In all the chaos of taking ownership we are also now in charge of continuing to show the house–which means we get notifications of showings as well as all the feedback. Apparently we had two showings on Saturday (yes, yesterday). I guess those showings must have been scheduled before Friday when we switched everything…. The house got some interesting feedback today…
“Clients need to rent for 2 years due to short sale 1 year ago. They are interested in a rent-to-own and would pay $1450 per month. Would your seller consider?”
I don’t in any way think this is a coincidence. I KNOW that the landlord would have willingly taken this offer over ours and if we had waited even one more day we would still be looking for a place to live.
See, God’s still got our backs. As if there was any doubt, huh? 😉
Well said.
Yay!!!!
Sounds like the timing worked out perfectly!
