After work we headed to the site we were supposed to close at thinking it would take an hour tops.... 3 hours later we were still sitting in a parking lot, waiting for the closing papers to finally get to where the buyer was working (he couldn't get off work, so we all went to him). Seems the lender and broker were quibbling over $200, after 3 hours of listening to Rush Limbaugh in Wes's truck, in a dark parking lot, I'd have gladly written the check to them myself!
The building we were meeting at was in a really sketchy neighborhood and 2 kids were smoking pot outside our truck window. People kept calling me and so every time I picked up my phone these 2 guys would circle our truck, I think they were afraid I was calling the cops. I told Wes to turn up Rush Limbaugh really loud and open the truck window, the sound of Rush's voice always gets me to leave any area I can still here him at!!! :)
Anyway around 8pm the papers came through and we all met in the Red Cross's break room, buyers and sellers, to sign the papers....talk about awkward!!! In the end it is done and we can't believe we sold our house in 12 days in a market like this one-!!
So good bye guest house, we will always have the memories...

Cute story! You guys must have earned some serious brownie points from G-d to sell your house so fast in a market like this!!! That's exciting!
No more guest house that I only got to visit once :"( (well technically we got to walk through it when it was being built but that doesn't count)
We'll miss the ol house but are excited to see the new one!
