Heck, we might disagree in all sorts of ways...but I know for a fact that they wouldn't behave this way. Can anthropologists explain this? Just curious.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446337419977796973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002602.post-36333291922682001822011-08-28T08:15:32.696-07:002011-08-28T08:15:32.696-07:00Here I was thinking you were so lucky to have SOLD...Here I was thinking you were so lucky to have SOLD! I know better than to view things that one-sidedly.<br /><br />The older I get, the less sure I am that I can make another move. And the more certain I am that I can't indefinitely keep repairing our older home and forking out money for airfare to visit distant kids. <br /><br />As a USAF family, we bought and sold homes in each location. The worst buyer I ever had was in Alaska. She pushed us to get out so she could rent until closing. The day of the closing, after we'd moved to SC and she'd been living in my house for weeks, she decided she'd paid too much and wanted to renegotiate entirely. My husband was tied up, so I had to handle it by phone. Alone. She thought she had us over a barrel<br /><br />I told her I'd decided to reject her initial offer. I promised I'd be in Alaska within 24 hours and, if her stuff wasn't out of my house and the entire house as spotless as I'd left it, I'd sue her ass off. <br /><br />End of story.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.com
