Go to the Drug Store after Getting into Contract on a Home!

As a veteran of several "normal" purchase transactions in this market, I recommend that all buyers make a trip to their local drug store upon entering into a purchase agreement!

You will need to buy:

  • Alleve (for headaches)
  • TUMS (for upset stomach)
  • Stress ball (probably in the office supply section)
  • Lavender infuser (for calming, probably in the housewares section)
  • Audio CDs for relaxation and sleep (over by the videos)

And on your way home, you might want to stop by the video store to rent a few comedies to take your mind off of the aggravation the lender is going to cause!

My word of warning to all.  ;-]

Ed~  I would want to add they they may partake in the occasional glass of red wine!  Yes, it seems as though the loan officers change the rules as they go!  Oh, unless of course it is the underwriters....

it is a very trying process in attempting to sale or purchase a home in the U.S. and it offers many headaches and heartaches throughout the long and trying process, but when you see the smiles you have created on both sides of the deals and all parties involved its very gratifying to know you helped someone purchase or sell a home ......they will thank you for a lifetime !!   some!

Ed - I'm in Vickie's camp.  A bottle glass of wine after a long day is just the ticket.  Although Vickie, underwriters of all people need some of the nectar of the Gods to help get rid of that stick they're sitting on, if you know what I mean.

Jeana--Perhaps I should have specified WHICH funny movies!

Vickie--Good suggestion on the red wine.  And yes it IS the Underwriters!

Donne--It isn't funny when we have to deal with it though, huh?

Carlos--Helping people is the best part of the business!

Donne--Point taken (no pun intended).
