Our Realtor told us to give the house one more week. If the huge paper mistake made by Fannie Mae (apparently) isn't corrected then he suggests we move on. I guess I've been preparing for this but it really makes me sad because there isn't a whole lot more available. Apparently during this month of waiting the market has gone up a little bit. I had a little break down earlier because all I want is a safe home for my children. My daughter got out of our apartment yesterday during dinner. It obviously wasn't a huge deal because we were right there, but she did get far enough away the entire apartment complex saw me chase my daughter down the sidewalk in my slip.
It's time for my children to have a fenced-in yard to play in. It's time for me to have a space to grow a garden and become more self-reliant as we are taught to be by our prophet. It is flat out time and I feel it deep with-in my soul, but because of someone else's ignorant quick actions we may have to walk from one home to a market that is so unsure we may not find another home for a long time yet. And to tell you the truth, that angers me.
I am so frustrated with this system I could scream, spit, and strangle. We have signed the same documents because of "mistakes" and addendum's the other side keeps changing THREE TIMES! Okay, people. Once- understandable and even expected. A second time? Annoying but whatever. A THIRD time? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! It has become unprofessional! And today? They asked for another copy/ proof of our certified check from the bank because the bank's branch address was under "location" and not the address of the home we are trying to purchase.
HELLO?!
Isn't this a banking institution we are dealing with? I worked at a bank almost six years ago as a teller- and even I know that the banks branch goes there, NOT THE HOUSE. It is our banks policy to have that there just in case something "bad" ie. fraud, illegal, fake, is connected with the check so they can FIND where it was originated.
So as you can see... my faith in being a first time home buyer is dwindling quickly. If I, a house wife can find where all the problems are before the seller or title company can then something is wrong. This is THEIR job to do the research. Not mine- but thank goodness I have the know-how and knowledge to get the job done or we'd be hurting in a completely different way in a few years.
Perhaps I should find my way back into the banking institution so that I can help protect those naive to this process. I'm thinking, from what I've seen thus far, it can't be THAT hard. Right?!
