Well, we have been working on this deal for several months. After frustrations from myself, the listing agent and my mortgage broker...we thought the deal was gone. My wife's "Dream Home" was discounted by almost $100,000 and the bank was paying ALL my closing costs (pat on the back for my negotiations)

After a couple of extensions, the Bank pulled the listing from the Asset Company. They wanted a $9,000 non-refundable deposit with a guarantee to close in 3 days.......I gave in.

Nervously I did it.....and now, the painter has started, we are packing...the kids have picked out their rooms and we have a house almost triple the size of our current home, pool, decks, sun-room...and only 2 minutes from where we live now.

Happy Mothers Day! - (Now I am looking forward to my Fathers Day Gift!)
