mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2011 #1 Posted February 6, 2011 Jeff and I looked at a house before he left that we were interested in. So today Riderduke came down with a friend TC (some of the crew have met her) to check the place out for me. After looking under in and on top we headed off to McDonald's for coffee. Actually I headed home real fast to pick up the plat Jeff got from the health dept with the septic info. Which seems to be off. Long story short TC (whose a real estate agent up in VA) called a friend and got me a new agent locally to work with. The one I had wasn't very helpful. So we all headed over to the agent's office and I put in an offer. I don't know if you're suppose to have fun at a real estate office but we did. The place is gonna need work, so David will have his work cut out for him. Anyway I guess I just wait now to find out if they accept the offer. I can't thank TC and David enough for the help and hand holding. Kinda scary doing this on my own. They may regret offering to keep holding my hand through this. Margaret
bongobobny Posted February 6, 2011 #3 Posted February 6, 2011 Well, you got to do SOMETHING with all the money Jeff will be making, don't you?? Just hope it doesn't turn into a money pit...
Eck Posted February 6, 2011 #4 Posted February 6, 2011 Poor Poor Jeff..... Man ...I feel for you bro..... You may not want to come home for a long time my friend... ($$$$$)... Better work lots of overtime and you might want to stay in your barrics for the next year..(OR TWO).....:mo money:
Dano Posted February 6, 2011 #5 Posted February 6, 2011 Hmmm, where's the pics? And, how big is the garage? Jeff wouldn't know what to do with a garage to work out of, it better be a big one!
mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2011 Author #6 Posted February 6, 2011 Well it doesn't have a garage on it (yet), but it has 4 acres so there just may be room for one. It does have a 3 bedroom 2 bath doublewide on it. As for price that will be determined if they accept the offer. But no need to worry about muffinman it won't require him being gone for long. Plus I'm not putting him in debt. Margaret
Dano Posted February 6, 2011 #7 Posted February 6, 2011 Plus I'm not putting him in debt. Best words a wallet could ever hear!
RoadKill Posted February 6, 2011 #8 Posted February 6, 2011 You will get it if its God's will. Pretty sneaky of Muffin Man to have you buy a house while he's not here to help you move. That man is my HERO!
FROG MAN Posted February 6, 2011 #9 Posted February 6, 2011 OK so where is the new pad? You staying in the area close to where you are? How am I gonna get my wine delivered to the beach if you move away?
Squidley Posted February 6, 2011 #10 Posted February 6, 2011 Good luck with it Mini, you have some good guys helping you check it out. Looking forward to you telling us they accepted your offer.
mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2011 Author #11 Posted February 6, 2011 Ok it's not far from where I am now. It's in the same county as a matter of fact I think it's like 10 miles from where we are. We have a home owners Assoc. where we live now (which I hate). The place we have now is paid for so we'd sell that after we moved. I'm not gonna move all this junk by myself either. He's got a bunch of stuff in the yard, ask David and Arthur and a few others who have actually seen our yard. Anyway I'll let you all know how it goes. Margaret
Guest Posted February 6, 2011 #12 Posted February 6, 2011 They may regret offering to keep holding my hand through this. Margaret They dont regret holding your hand, but they do regret the back pain its gonna cause reaching down to do so. :smile5: Seriously, hope it works out for you and Jeffy. I can see it now...MD Mid-east Atlantic region.
Aussie Annie Posted February 7, 2011 #14 Posted February 7, 2011 Good luck with it all.............what's a double wide???
Squidley Posted February 7, 2011 #15 Posted February 7, 2011 Good luck with it all.............what's a double wide??? A mobile home Annie
eagleeye Posted February 8, 2011 #17 Posted February 8, 2011 Good luck Mini, Hope you don't have to wait too long to hear if your offer has been accepted. I'ts always exciting to get a new place to make your own. 4 acres, that's cool Steve
Sleeperhawks Mechanic Posted February 8, 2011 #18 Posted February 8, 2011 Good luck with the offer, Margaret! Hope it goes as you want it to!
PBJ Posted February 8, 2011 #19 Posted February 8, 2011 I'll bet Jeff doesn't even know you're doing this and you're just gonna be gone when he gets back!
cecdoo Posted February 8, 2011 #20 Posted February 8, 2011 Ok Mini, did they accept the offer:fingers-crossed-emo we need an update. Craig
mini-muffin Posted February 8, 2011 Author #21 Posted February 8, 2011 Well I just got back there was another offer so I had to bump our offer a bit. Hope they accept this one because I won't go any higher for this place. Should hear something more by thursday maybe friday. Margaret
cecdoo Posted February 9, 2011 #22 Posted February 9, 2011 Its a buyers market and there are plenty of houses for sale, ya picked a great time to go shopping, hope it all works out for ya. Craig:mo money:
mini-muffin Posted February 9, 2011 Author #23 Posted February 9, 2011 I've been looking for a while now so I have a pretty good idea what the market in this area is doing. If I don't get this one I'm sure they'll be another. One place we had wanted to look at was under contract then but not now. Margaret
Eck Posted February 9, 2011 #24 Posted February 9, 2011 Mini... I just might have found what your looking for.. Nice used Double wide...needs just a little work... can be had for a cheap price Im bad..........
mini-muffin Posted February 9, 2011 Author #25 Posted February 9, 2011 I don't know doesn't look like it ever had a deck. Margaret
