They requested weContinue reading “Rescheduled Again”

WEEEEEEE!

Happy Dance
The appraisal has arrived!!!! It was sent after our lender left for the day yesterday, so technically on time, just not during the regular work day.

Offer and Negotiations
HOLY COW!!!!!! The housing market in the DFW area is CRAZY!!!!
