AN EXTRA DOSE OF STRESS!

For those of you who have been wondering.....no we have not closed on our house yet. This whole process has been the most stressful we've gone through (and it's our 3rd home to own). Our closing has been constantly delayed mainly due to negligence on the loan officer's side. Paperwork not getting turned in when we thought it had, more docs being requested from us the day before closing that should've been taken care of a week or two ago...stuff like that. Our biggest stressor now is that we had to file an extension today because someone forgot to turn in our paperwork. The last extension we had to file cost $2,000 which our realtor and the seller's realtor absorbed, but someone has to pay for this one. That is, if the bank gets greedy and decides to stiff us. I'm furious about it. I don't believe we should have to fork over a ton of money for someone else's mistake and I'm ready to stand up for our rights if it comes to that.

We are hoping & praying, that the bank will waive the extension fee. Monday or Tuesday we hope to sign papers and get the keys on Wed. We have to be out of our rental by the 30th so it's getting down to the wire. Hopefully, things will move forward from here with NO MORE hangups!! Our realtor has been awesome and going above & beyond trying to get our paperwork moved along. Some things though, are beyond our control and we just have to give it up to God. 

Frankly, I think God has big plans for us in this new house & neighborhood because the devil is working overtime trying to prevent us & discourage us from getting it!

oh wow, keep praying about it and everything will be fine. We just put an offer on a house tonight so I'm really nervous about the whole thing too.
Praying things smooth out for you soon
