became a month-to-month rental. Eventually the buyers were able to find another property, they loved just as much, but not until after Paula was able to get another job in her field and immediately have a letter sent to the lender from the employer showing proof that Dana was indeed their employee.
The nightmare stories continue endlessly...
I met a lady at a coffee shop with an incredible first-time buyer story. I happened to overhear her conversation, so I decided to step in and ask about it. Janet and her fiancé were searching for their first home with the intention of buying one before their wedding. They had been told about a great real estate agent in the city where they wanted to call home, and so they looked him up to ask his help in finding the right home. The problem was that the only glowing reviews they heard about him was from clients who had hired him to sell homes, not from home buyers. The agent met up with Janet and her fiancé to go over different homes he had on his list, and then it was time to take a trip around town to see them. There was one home that he talked profusely about, and so they went in person to take a look. Janet and her fiancé knew what good quality was, so they were able to see right away that there were problems. The basement doorway was weak. The upstairs bathroom floor bounced, and the light switches in the hallway seemed to pop and flicker. Although very nicely painted, they knew this house had some issues. When confronted with these concerns, the agent replied that they could always fix those problems later. Although their gut told them not to move forward with making a purchase, they agreed to a $10,000 price reduction and took the house.
