So today I call the broker guy to see exactly how much our check needs to be at closing. He nonchalantly mentions that he had to have a few more papers completed for the lender and that closing may be pushed back. I so kindly informed him that we are leaving Thursday afternoon for 2 1/2 weeks and will be out of the country. I can't tell you how upsetting it is to be let down like this less than 24 hours before we were scheduled to close. So because our broker underestimated the process, we will be closing when we return from our trip. Financially it makes more sense for us and fortunately the broker is going to cover extension fees as well as any requests from the sellers. As long as we purchase the place in June I won't have a emotional breakdown or be homeless.
Purchasing a home is supposed leave you excited and a little nervous, not incredibly disappointed and upset.
