We are trying to be optimistic and move forward on the Ponderosa Home hoping that the liens will just go away after the 30 days. If it is truly that easy I will be so shocked! Anyway, a closing date of November 25 has been selected (it just so happens to be our deadline date for the house anyway). It is good and bad. Good in that it seems like progress. It is bad in that we are all just being hopeful and if the liens do not go away we will be even more disappointed, if that is even remotely possible.
Michael, our real estate agent, called this morning with the above news. He also reported that Mr. Fuller (who is the home builder and real estate agent for the seller) was complaining about us going on TV and how it made matters worse. For who - him? I care as much for him and his situation as he does ours! Mr. Fuller also continued by badmouthing the seller of the house, which I find highly inappropriate and unprofessional, especially after all that homeowner has put up with. As it turns out, the homeowner's divorce was just starting about the time they were to close on the home. The seller wanted out of the home and told the builder he would just forego his downpayment and not close on the home. The builder, Mr. Fuller, then gave the seller this big sob story on how the seller was going to bankrupt him, effect many of his subcontractors who would not be paid if they did not close, etc. The homeowner was mistakenly guilted into closing on the home, then putting it up for sale. Imagine his surprise when the homeowner had to sell the home below what he paid for it (just like buying a new car - you buy a new house you pay extra for it being new) and pay Mr. Fuller commission too! Anyway, with all of this said, for Fuller to give the homeowner any kind of bad feedback is highly inappropriate!
So, as of now, we have a close date of November 25. If we do close on the home, we will have a home on Thanksgiving and move in over that weekend. If we do not close on the 25, we will be looking and possibly bidding on another home shortly after the 25th. Yes, that means we would have to move all of our things out of the garage AGAIN!
Let's pray it all works out in the end. And, let's also pray there will be an end.
