Tate the small town realtor called tonight. He had spoken to the seller's realtor and had some details to share with me. The well and septic tests have already been completed, so those won't hold anything up. That is good news. She thought our offer was "a bit low." Tate chuckled and said, "Well...we're open for negotiation," and she promised not to let the sellers reject the offer outright.
The biggest snafu: Both realtors seem to be approaching the move in before closing idea with concern. As a clergyperson, there are amazing tax benefits related to housing. If we close before I'm ordained, we miss out on some big benes. However, we want to move in before we head West for the ordination. We're asking to move in on Dec 16 and to close on Jan 2. I hope this works out. It'll be a real pain if it doesn't.
We'll have news on Monday...stay tuned.
