It’s a Process

Because we have purchased several houses before, we knew going it this would be a “process,” not a simple thing. Or least it never has been for us.

We thought we were pre-approved with one company, seems that no, that was not quite the case. The broker had gathered all the info and he ‘thought’ it would be fine, but had yet to actually turn over all the information to a finance company. Great, he told us this after we had made an offer on a house!

So, start the process all over again with a new company… yes, we could have stayed with that company, it was already in the process, but when someone is not telling me the truth about what they are doing, I tend to not trust them with my money, especially the amounts of money we are talking about when buying a house!

Meeting with the new person went smooth, she says it shouldn't be a problem, etc, but oh, she is leaving town early on Friday and won’t be able to get to things until at least Monday. And can we get her up-to-date bank statements, etc… I guess the others were over two whole weeks old and just wouldn't do to tell her how much money we had made over the last year???? Really?

Still working on the old farmhouse just on the edge of town here in Pendleton, but not so sure it will happen by early January like we were hoping. Oh well, so long as it still happens we will be okay. In the grand scheme of things a few more weeks is not going to make that much difference but in the short term it can sure be frustrating.
