I mentioned last week or the week before we were looking at moving so we could be closer to our daughter. We have found a place we really like. We own the place we live in now outright so that is not a concern for us. We dont have to sell this place in order to get the other place.
The problem is the other place is on a short sale and we have contacted the realtor who was helping us several times about putting in an offer. She keeps trying to tell us oh I have this listing here and this listing here but we told her we are not interested in them.
We want to put an offer on the one we looked at. It is the perfect location. It is almost exactly halfway between the house we live in now and the place our daughter lives. So we would still be close enough to not have to change doctors and keep our son in the same school and be able to make it to friends and all that but we would be way closer to our daughter. So that way when the baby comes it will be easier for us to help her with caring for the baby when she needs us to.
That is the major factor in us wanting to move. So my question is what the heck are we supposed to do if this agent does not want to help us put the offer on the place we are interested in? We have told her several times now and she offers to show us the other places then says well Ill get back with you about putting in an offer but she never does.
We have to keep calling her back. She is the listing agent for the house so I dont know if there is someone else who we can contact on it.
Ugghhh it is just frustrating me to no end because I do not understand why she does not want to do her job. Could it maybe be because it is a short sale? Is she not making a commission on it or something? Or maybe the other places have been on the market longer so she is trying to push us towards those places?
I dont know what to think because this is the only place my husband and I have lived and it is paid off. He bought it a couple years before we met and we paid it off a few years ago. We never figured we would be moving at this point in our lives. We were just going to build onto the place we are in now to add a little more room. But that was when our son was still alive and he was going to do a lot of the work involved in adding onto our current place. My husband just cannot do the work alone.
But in addition to wanting to be closer to our daughter we also kinda want to have a fresh start somewhere new as well to try to help us all cope with losing Matthew a little better. I know we will never forget and it will always be something we have to live with but kinda think that a new place will make it a little easier because we wont have all the reminders of things like thats where he slept, that is where he played, that is where he learned to ride his bike, that is where we used to have our campfires in the winter and roast marshmallows, thats the bus he used to ride everyday....and the list goes on and on.
So yea any advice on what to do with this realtor and how to get an offer placed on the place we are looking at would be awesome!!
