Okay, so we didn’t really offer the sellers a coffee card in exchange for the sewer repair. We did, however, come to an agreement on the items identified in the inspection report. And… it’s a go. The appraisal has been ordered, the loan documents are being filed, the title report is doing whatever it’s supposed … Continue reading

Decisions, decisions…
