Closing

Well my Closing yesterday went off almost without a hitch. I got a call from Sharon the morning of and she told me the water bill was not on the HUD, which is a list of all the things each side pays. okay.... maybe they forgot to put it on there I said, no big deal, they can fix that easy and still close. I made a few phone calls and nothing, nobody knew anything. And so they couldn't add it to the HUD. I was frantic. Because my buyer could not transfer the water into his name until it is paid! You can't exactly live without water!!!!
So I decided to stick it out. I had to take Caleb to a members house to watch him because Jeanne and George qare out of town, and Eric was at school. So I got there and I met early with my buyers and talked about some things. And then the closer got there, I had to make a few copies of paper, and then I told her about the water bill, she made one phone call and got an honest straight forward answer!! If only I had that kind of power! Anyway, We ended up having to bill the company and then we will reimburse our buyers when the money comes in. So we finished signing and then we all left. I will not get my commission for a few days though. That's Standard.
And then today I managed to go into the office for a little while before I had to pick Caleb up for a play date. On the way to pick up Caleb I stopped at a persons house that Eric had talked to while doing inspections and she said to call her in about a month and she might be ready to list her house! Exciting! My first listing!!! Well... Almost!
Caleb had a blast at the Play date. They read some books, played with toys, walked on a two by four probably trying to see if any of the kids would qualify for a disability class the city has. They danced and sang songs, and then they made a picture of some flowers, and then they got to paint some egg crates. And they got a snack. And they gave sippy cups to every kid! And they had stacks and stacks of sippy cups left! I have never seen that many before!!
Then I came home, did some cleaning, got dinner, and then Went to go babysit for the people who watched Caleb yesterday. I am so glad we can trade favors like that. It is much more convenient then trying to find a babysitter that I have to pay all the time. And more affordable! Plus Caleb gets to see his friends more often!
