Ok, it didn't happen after all!

I wrote a post last week about losing the earnest money for a client. It was a tough one because my client is a military guy and everyone really wanted this deal to go through. Well, after writing this post, http://actvra.in/s9w, the loan officer ended up getting the deal to go through!

This deal had died more times than a cat with 9 lives. It just goes to show that you can never give up. I realy do not like the word, NO, so I always say, Yes, but.

In this case I really had all but given up. Persistence paid off. We are closing today at 4pm. There will be a soldier that is very grateful that everyone working for him did not give up. I can't wait to see his face today when we hand over the keys to his new home!

I did read your first post, and it sounded like this deal wasn't going to happen. Good for you with getting it together.

Peter, I can't remember your article, but I believe every deal has a chance unless the other party flat pulls out. Where there is a will there is a way when all parties work together, that's how I see it.

Peter -- don't you just love happy endings?   It seems all transactions have some twists and turns that can make them very frustrating.  Glad this one turned out so well for your buyer.
