We have been given a cash offer on our Ramble house...the noose that has so entangled us fo so long has been loosed...thanks be to God Almighty.
The God-incidences have to be counted"
- The house, being presently leased, was not on the market...
- The economy? worst ever for the housing market..
- The house was shown and sold by a personal friend of Adrianne's...a young, fresh out of college Christian man....(doesn't have the 30+ years of the oh so lazy Realtor)
- We volunteered to pay him a commission if he sold it before June 1 when it went back on the market (He got the offer 2 weeks before the deadline)
- The "normal" fee is 6%...He asked only for 4%.
- The potential Buyers offered cash...no need for a Bank's approval...
- The offer is contingent upon the sale of their home...WHICH...has already been approved.
- The offer is very close to our asking price....many homes in the neighborhood are in foreclosure or selling for $100,000's below the asking price.
- The offer came in just days after the Leasing Office gave us a pricey list of repairs or upgrades they "think" we should make..ummm? No!
- The potential Buyers LOVE the home....an answer to my specific prayers.
So...I will no longer pay for:
- new bark mulch 2x/year
- annual taxes
- Home Owner Assoc. dues (that are THROUGH THE ROOF)
- annual changing out of the filters
- Chem Lawn
- new trees
- Spring/Fall opening/closing of the irrigation system
- the difference in the amount the Renters pay and the amount we owe
- ANY more repairs (imposed upon us by Renter's)
I will no longer wonder we will own it forever.
No, I wish I could say I trusted the Lord fully...but my faith wavered...and I whined and complained and wondered...more often than I care to admit...and I am sorry I did not believe You Lord would supply all my needs. But ...You did...utterly and completely.
Thank you.
