Let me set the stage: I didn't sleep well last night- only an hour and a half to be exact... not sure why but here you go...
After having little to no sleep, I decided to take a nap for about a half hour during lunch... I turned on the news at noon and closed my eyes. As I am floating off into Neverland- I hear the broadcaster say "Boca Raton." I slightly stirred then came awake immediately- I have a contract with a buyer on that street!!! Due to a family dispute the man of the house poured gasoline all over the house and set it on fire. Of course no address is announced on the news- OK- Don't panic... Call the listing agent- No answer. Text the listing agent- please tell me that the house on fire on Boca Raton is not the house we have under contract- no reply. Call the listing agents office and see if he is there. They have not heard anything. I call the fire department that responded to the fire- they cannot release details.
I was able to ask if they could give me the address. It is 3342 Boca Raton. Then I look at my address- 3432 Boca Raton. It is possible that the number in the report were mixed up the numbers are all the same...
By this time I am kind of freaking a little... my buyers are heading over to the house in 3 hours for their home inspections with 3 different inspectors... My car is in the shop getting some maintenance work done- so I have no way to drive out there and check it out before everyone goes for the inspections...
The listing agent finally called back and responded very quick- he called his client confirmed that it was not our house and called me back- AH- I can breath.
I called my buyers and told them just in case they saw the news I wanted them to know that it is not the house that they have under contract. My day is now level again;)
