EMO - how was the showing?

Inquiring (read: nosy) minds want to know!

I haven't heard anything yet, but funny story...

I had posted an ad on CL's "homes for sale" section (because I'm that damn desperate) and had copied someone else's content from somewhere else that was worded well and had edited it appropriately (because I don't have a 4 bedroom house in a different area lol) and apparently they had it "for sale/rent" and I missed that. I also added to contact our agent, so I didn't even get a "how much for rent?" email. The agent did say he was pre-approved for a home loan so we'll see.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Whoops. Well, you are willing to rent, right - if necessary?

We rented our house to our buyers for about 6 months before the sale went through.

[emoflamingo]

Well, apparently not. We were set to start renting Dec 1st to a former classmate of H's This was decided at 10:30 a.m. on Monday. By 12:30 p.m., his mom had talked him out of it and said she'd pay the mortgage and utilities instead so our house could sit vacant until it sold. The only person she will "let us" rent to is a good friend of ours who is currently in LA trying to find work and may not be staying there like he wants.

I am so frustrated by the above that I could scream.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Whaaaa?? That's just craziness.

[emoflamingo]

Yes. I have a little bit of an issue (a lot of an issue) with how she just kind of manhandled the situation. It's a long talk H and I are going to have to have eventually, but I'm so stressed with everything else that adding a fight with him into the mix is not a plan I want to carry out just yet.

LOL remember my rant about "WTF DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE?" when they ignore the listing?

"They want a basement and thought home with [was] a bit cluttered that would be changed here in a few days. -realtor"

REALLY!? 1) it says it's a motherfuckingslabonthelistingassholes. 2) It's not cluttered more than the listing pictures! I have TWO plastic totes I didn't move, but they are BY my bed neatly and they're not cardboard boxes.
