You'll be fine. Congratulations. After you close remember you and your wife will need to "christin" every room in the house for good luck.

I already told her that is not happening. No way in hell do I need an accident third kid.

144 hours to go, Just received our Hud settlement thing. I guess if we received that everything is done as far as reports, title searching, and all the other miscellaneous stuff?

I am no expert, but if you get the HUD settlement, then you are good to go.

closing was moved to Monday 3pm, 99 hours to go.

 

However, we seem to have a slight problem. Apparantly the property is part of an estate. The estate attorney is requiring that we sign a paper that says the house is sold as is and that we are accepting the repairs that have been completed and will not hold the estate liable for anything further after closing. I figured no big deal, we didn't ask for anything after the inspection other than a radon system be installed. Well, the closing attorney, the agent, the agencies attorney, and the loan company all say that I should not sign it. The estate attorney said that they will not release the house unless it is signed.

 

uggggggggg

has anyone had an issue like above before? The estate lawyer is making a huge deal about us signing this paper. How can they add something like this at the last second when it was never discussed prior? If they accepted the offer and have gone this far why would they hold up a sale over a paper saying it is as is?

BTW, my agent called this morning and said the sellers attorney has agreed to withdraw the document.

Sorry phone died on me. We closed and are now officially home owning/bank renting.

 

Closing was quick and painless. It is so exciting.
