Well, if you were quick enough to catch my last blog while it was up, the house contract is no more. We didn't want to tell too many people about the house in case things didn't work out, and, of course, as soon as I make an announcement, it's over!
We terminated the contract today, on the last day of our option period.We had everything ready to go, but the seller would not agree to fix a drainage issue in the side/back yard. It may seem like something small, but we talked to several drainage guys, and this could potentially be something very big. It might also be affecting the foundation, which we were already a little wary about. Since the sellers were only willing to give us a couple hundred bucks for the repair, we said forget it. We wasted a lot of time, effort and money on the inspection, engineer, etc., but we're not willing to buy into a potential money-pit.
So, we're back to square one: looking for a new realtor. We are not happy with the way things have gone the last few weeks, and we think it's best to just start completely over, despite her already giving us a guilt trip.
Oh, well. At this point we're already over it and ready for a break from this stress! Everything happens for a reason - hopefully we'll find out soon what that reason is.

I am really proud of you guys! If you don't feel completely good about it don't do it. A house is such an exciting thing and if it doesn't go right then it isn't meant to be. Michelle and I absolutely love our house and I know you guys will too. It is worth waiting and spending money. And yes everything happens for a reason. SOMEONE is looking out for you guys! WE miss ya'll.

Brian is right! Good for you for standing up for yourself! If you still need a realtor, my cousin lives in Dallas and is one, so let me know and I can give you her info! Good luck! =)
