So tonight my fiancee and I put a bid in on a house that's been on the market since November of last year. I gathered my family together to see it and give us the ok, they agreed with us that the house seemed perfect, so we went to my realtor's house to fill out all of the paperwork. We sat there for two hours filling out paperwork and then she called the seller's realtor to let them know we were faxing in a bid.
Apparently all of the contracts had been signed and the house had been sold this afternoon.
How the fuck do you make lemonade out of that?

once you have time to settle into whichever house you eventually find, that one will seldom occur to you.
and I'm pretty sure there's a fermentation process to turn lemons to alcohol, no sugar required. |

Wes, that really sucks. What sucks more is that your realtor had you spend that much time on paperwork before checking on the house. Usually once someone is "bidding" on a house and the process has been started the realtor network that all realtors work with have this information. This was your realtor wasting your time by not taking the five seconds to check her systems.
Yeah, that kind of happen to me once. We were practically all settled then we got to the point where we would start to fill out the paperwork and found out that the house was in the process of being sold.
I don't even remember what the house looks like anymore. _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

You've probably gained a couple of levels in paperwork-filling in those hours, so think how quickly you'll fill out the next set!!!!!111

See, according to our realtor it was the other realtor's fault. Ours called theirs earlier in the day and made plans to see the house last night, and if their realtor had known that it was off the market she should have let her know that there was no need to waste our time.

Got some lemonade tonight! My fiance and I bought this house! We're going to repaint it so that it's not so garishly ugly, but we're pretty pumped! Move in day's 30 days from now!

Excellent! Congratulations!
And I think you are right: I think the previous tenants are swingers. That house is like a giant easter basket ... and sex. _________________ Come to me, Mordel. We shall depart. |

Did he tell you about the carpet in the master bathroom, the carpet that climbs the wall of the bath tub? And how there is no shower in there, only a jacuzzi? Someone's booty (not to mention their jiggly bits) has been rubbing on that carpet by the tub. This room is an abomination of all that a bathroom stands for. There is no cleanliness here!
Even while I think how gross that bathroom is, I'm kind of proud of our house for being a sex shack. I never thought to open the dishwasher but I bet it's full of dildos.

Nice digs M8. My wife and I bought a house without a realtor (For Sale by Owner). It was a really simple process and both sides of the deal saved a bit of cash. Did we get screwed? Only time will tell! _________________

I remember when my family moved into a new house when I was a kid, the master bathroom had a chandelier and wall to wall shag carpetting. I wanted to keep it like that but my parents all took it out _________________ where were you when nana komatsu got a wii? |
