We were supposed to close on our new home yesterday but at 6 p.m. the evening before, while we were out at dinner with my son and his girlfriend, my wife got a message saying they need paperwork from ten years ago. It is unbelievable how they can tell us everything is good to go and then suddenly need something at the last minute. We went home and looked but we didn’t have it. I thought it was super minor but it was enough for the loan to not go through. Why didn’t they know this before we paid $1000 for a survey and termite treatment? We also now have the power in our name for a house we don’t own,
So now we are starting over with another loan and the closing was pushed back two weeks. Or would that be pushed forward? Our house is upside down right now and our refrigerator is bare but we have to carry on like this for two more weeks. At least the cats don’t mind.
We have friends in Virginia that are planning to give us their dining room set. It is something they got from us many moves ago and now it is coming full circle. They had planned on coming to visit us on the 21st which puts us in a time crunch. We now have to rent the truck on closing day and be on the road on Thursday the 19th. If the house doesn’t close I will have a truck loaded with stuff and nowhere to go. Wish us luck.

What a mess! You’re right – this should NOT HAVE happened at “the 11th hour” – true example of incompetence and you and your household caught in the web. So sorry. Hopefully the new loan will go through without a hitch and the timing will all fall into place and you can be in that house in time for a visit with your friends bearing the dining room set! Fingers crossed!
Hugs, Pam
Thanks, Pam. We certainly don’t need any more problems.
oh no! what a sh… why this year only brings so much problems? we hope you can find a way it totally sucks when a new beginning starts that way… hugs to you…
I hadn’t thought of that but this would have been a silver lining in 2020.
Oh, that’s kind of nuts. They just realized they need that paperwork now? You’re right, though. The cats seem to be taking the news just fine. Fingers crossed for you that everything works out.
Thank you.
Ugh…..we hate that kind of surprise.

I think we are due for a good surprise.
That has to be so frustrating but things happen for a reason. Maybe the delay will end up being a good thing.
Well, I will at least be able to work two more weeks and get paid.
I dont know who you have for a Realtor and Mortgage but I think it is time for a RE attorney to be involved to protect your interests. We are sending lots of calming purrs
Thanks. It’s the mortage company and I don’t think they are unique. We bought a condo years ago and after we were approved and near closing the company unaproved us because they were not convinced we were going to live there, which we were.
Wow, that’s so not cool of them! I hope it all works out as fast and as smoothly as possible!
I hope so too. Thank you.
Ugh, what a PITA! My human has been through the home buying process three times, and just went through a refi, so she knows how these things go (and don’t go).
Same here. I sometimes think they are scammers and look for last problems so they can get you into a higher interest loan when you have no time to shop for another broker.
Blerg! Just when you think it’s the home stretch, it’s not! Ugh! Paws crossed for this one to be the real thing.
Love and licks,

Hopefully. Thanks.
My whiskers, Mr. Charles, this year just keeps getting stranger and stranger! Purraying things get sorted out for you asap!

It’s the curse of 2020.
And here I thought just the globalists were cursed!
Purrseidon
That stinks. Sorry for the glitch.
Thank you.
Sending you purrayers and Power of the Paw !
Thanks.
Ugh! Mortgage companies can be the worst! We hope things go better this time and you close and can move.
I hope so too. Thank you.
Geez …unbelievable!!! What does a 10 yr old document have to do with a new mortgage? Paws and fingers crossed.
Thanks.
Wow, we are really sorry to hear about this…what a mess. Sounds as if you and Rose and the kitties are doing your best to take it in stride. Wishing you luck that you do not hit any more snags!

Thank you so much.
Good grief, what a pain! That totally should not have happened. Really hope it all works out. 🤞
Thanks so much.
This is the type of thing that lets cats feel superior to us
