Besides paperwork and some follow up emails, the biggest part of my day today was spent at an inspection for my buyer purchasing a bank owned condo in Everett.
The purchase and sale made it clear that it would be the buyer's responsibility to de-winterize the property for inspection. My buyer - taking his own counsel instead of mine - decided not to de-winterize the property and inspect it without running water. It's a third floor condo so he figured that if there were any leaks prior to the bank winterizing the property the unit below would have reported them, and/or there would be evidence of water damage still visible in the unit.
I was surprised to arrive and find the unit already de-winterized! Turns out we have hit the date that the bank requires for mandatory winterization so they came by and de-winterized it! Yea! My client saves the cost of having it done - and I feel better that we get to have the water on for the inspection. A win-win!
The inspection went well and I am confident that once my buyer reads the full report he will be comfortable moving onto closing.
This evening - confronted with a fairly empty fridge and pantry - the family and I hit Costco and the grocery store. Not exactly quality family time, but I'll take it. :)
