We had the same offer on the table in a short sale situation since February and got tired of how we were getting treated and never getting answers. We felt it could be the end of the year until we knew on the house so Sunday night we signed papers cancelling our offer because we found the cutest and most quaint little house in Independence that night. The offer was accepted Monday morning! The drive will be so much closer for Larry and the house is in great condition (especially compared to the other). They put a new roof on the house last March, the house has great curb appeal, is in a great neighborhood, is painted beautifully, has a beautiful big back yard with a sand box. We are excited...we have been dreaming up all the things we can do to make this already nice house even nicer!
Please keep your fingers crossed that the inspection goes well and then you can come visit us at our new home after May 24!
