The amount of time that some short sales take is nothing compared to the amount of time I have been in escrow on one of my transactions.

The count as of today is 22 years.  I picked up this great deal at a down time in the market.  Inventory was very low and everyone wanted the quality property.  Luckily I was the one that ended up witht the accepted contract and we are happily still in escrow after 22 years.

Our contract had us all over the map.  In between the acceptance of the offer and now, we have opened different escrows in Garlstedt Germany, Kirchgoens Germany, Ft. Carson Colorado (3 times), Ft. Sill Oklahoma and Schofield Barracks Hawaii.

Luckily we made it through all contingency periods that included military deployments, multiple moves, sickness and a plethora of other items that you would normally expect to cause a cancellation.

After 22 years we are still not looking forward to a closing date!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TONYA KUCIC!

THEN AND NOW.....1987 AND 2009.

Good Morning 1SGT, you got me at first ... I am a little slow now a day. Congrats to you and your bride. We just complete our 16 year tour, and if another Hurricane Katrina don't blow thru this summer we may see our 17th. Marriage is a great institution. Marriage is a lot like golf, just keep it in the middle of the fairway and hope for the par.
