Fall Falling Leaves Moon
Counter-offer. This is the negotiating side of the transaction. It feels a little like punching with pillows strapped to the hands because the offer goes through intermediaries. The feedback is dulled by the process and flattened. It becomes coarse, too, without as much information as, say, haggling in the market in Marakech.
But, it is a counter and the terms will probably get decided in the next few hours. Then, I’ll go out, see the inspection report, the property, Kate will get all of our financial info to the mortgage banker and soon we’ll have a closing date. In the dollars and cents of it all we’re going to have to spend a good bit more than we figured, not for the house, but for the whole move. That, however, says more about our experience (virtually zero) of interstate moves than it does about the service providers. Moving our life to a new location is expensive.
Then, probably in January, we’ll move.
Oh, my.
