Yesterday I wrote a blog about having to eat my words regarding a closing date mix-up. I mentioned that today we would doing the walk through. The buyer had already driven by the house yesterday just to confirm that the movers were there, and they were. So far, so good.
I anticipated a quick 15 minute walk through. I got there 
shortly before the buyers and began to look through the house and into closets. I was not happy.
There was garbage under the sinks, dirty, disgusting toilet brushes in the bathroom, all sorts of garbage left in the garage; pieces of an entertainment center, pieces of glass shelving, a large glass tabletop, 6 or 7 plastic push toys and tricycles, and of course, the gazillion paint cans that are always left behind. I was not pleased.
I immediately called the seller's agent who had assured me she was stopping by yesterday to check in. She said the sellers had assured her he would have everything cleaned out. To her credit she did say she would have someone come by to get rid of all the excess trash, which the buyers and I then spent an hour hauling outside.
I was pretty surprised when the seller's agent called me back to tell me that the sellers were already in Harrisburg, PA, but they were turning around to come back and get their junk. Did I feel bad about the fact that Harrisburg,PA is 3 hours away? Not a bit!! Am I going to go back later and check on the house and make sure every bit of trash is gone?? You bet!!
