So for the next installment in the rodeo to Texas. Two weeks ago Soul mate and I went house hunting in Texas. We viewed 19 houses in one day!.... with one of us with a slight hangover and one of us with taco induced gas (Clue: One of them was not the realtor). We took video of houses that we were interested in as after the first 10 or so they all blur together and the only memorable thing was whether Soul mate used the bathroom and did he remember to flush?
Anyway, we found a home that was 90% what we were looking for. It had the 4 bedrooms, the game room, the pool and some grass for the dog to yellow and the kids to play. We put an offer on this house Tuesday. We knew it was a fairly low offer but compared to the neighbour that was also for sale, (bigger and less money), this owner was over priced. This old buffoon came back to us yesterday with a reduction of $5000 with a request to lease from us for 1 month. Obviously, this is not feasible since we close on our property hopefully on May 22, 2009. Our agent advised this old maggot that leasing was not an option so he retaliated stating that without the lease option he wants the asking price. Good luck with that son!
So last night I had to soothe soul mate who was ready to curl into a ball while hugging his bottle of spiced rum. I on the other hand am not too upset. I feel we are in the driver's seat and this old fool can suck in my exhaust fumes.
Having cajoled soul mate to a functioning status of acceptance doesn't this old codger come back to us today with a counter offer. Who's laughing now old man!!!!!!! Let the games begin. Stayed tuned!
