It is true! Fred and I are weeks away from being official 1st time home owners!!!!!!!! The whole process went incredibly fast but it was an opportunity that we could not pass up. The time line goes as follows:

- Thursday: Friends Mary and Jenny (avid runners) run in town and pick me up flyers for houses for sale. Later that day we look on line on the John L Scott website for houses.

- Friday: Call realtor and mortgage broker and set up times to meet. Quick and painless…

- Saturday: Go out to see homes with the realtor. We viewed 3 houses… 1st one was a nightmare, 2nd one was okay but the 3rd one was just right. By noon we had signed papers for our new home.

- Sunday: Seller accepts our offer and were off to the next steps…

Now it’s just a waiting game to see if the seller’s bank approves the sale. There are special circumstances that requires the bank approve too. Now it’s all about waiting and packing boxes. Oh the joys of moving…
