Last April I got a wild hair at work to look at houses for sale in my home town and see what a payment would be if I bought. It turns out about $40 less than I was paying for rent. So, I bought a 1926 bungalow. It was the third house i saw on the Internet and the only one I looked at in person. If that sounds like the easiest home purchase ever, it wasn't. . .
Initially, when I called the realtor I received no call back and got busy so I didn't call back for a few days, I did drive by it about four times a day wondering why a realtor, whom works on commission, would neglect to call.
Then, a realtor came in to look at a car on my lot, I am a car sales person. He happened to be with the same company as the listing agent and checked on it, it had an accepted offer. He continued to send me a barrage of listings in my price range but nothing interested me. If I could not have that house I was going to let it ride a while. Then one day about 10 days later, he called. The man who was to buy the house has had a heart attack and as an over the road truck driver he may be out of the running.
I looked at the house that afternoon with my sister and my step mother and then, an hour later I wrote an offer on it.
The first potential buyer had another heart attack while in the hospital, he is fine but unemployed, so. . . I GOT MY HOUSE!!!!!
