On Wednesday we closed on the house!
(and the peasants rejoiced, yay!)
Apparently there was a lot of cubicle battles regarding our file. Our underwriter is in California, his/her boss is in another state and we’re in Texas as is our house. Our loan was not assigned to an underwriter specializing in USDA loans which have their own timeline. NOT OURS! We got assigned to some asshat who took his sweet time. He demonstrated absolutely NO sense of urgency in the matter. HELLO! WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
Once a ‘rush’ was put on the loan our fucking underwriter had to obtain signatures from his superior who was in another state.
Seriously, does it have to be this hard?
Fortunately we were not responsible for paying any of the interest for December and some additional costs were covered on our behalf as well for our trouble.
So after four months we are finally in our house! It rocks and already feels like home.
Now we can establish new habits that will make our lives better.
LIFE IS GOOD. Just so you know.
Yay!!! Congrats! House buying is a looong way off for us. I'm not looking forward to the hassle but it will be nice to own our own digs. You must be uber-stoked!
Congratulations! Closings are allllways messed up one way or another, it seems. Glad to hear yours finally went through!
