The Drive Home.

The drive home was relative uneventful, although we did do some more sightseeing along the way.  Figured we might as well. Who knows if we would be able to do this at a later time and might as well take advantage of the time and location.

Along the way we got a phone call from our realtor.  He finally heard back from the seller’s agent.  We have received the official permission to either go on the property ourselves unaccompanied or allow a plumber to go on the property in order to fix the pipes for the Bank Inspection.  We also received permission to put the utilities in our name for the inspection. However, we can only do this as a onetime instance and any other entrance to the property until closing is prohibited without additional permission.

Everyone had a good laugh at this one since it was already done.  However, the seller’s agent was on vacation and didn’t get the message until it was too late.  Glad we didn’t wait on her since we are now out of the area and couldn’t fix it ourselves.  But now at least we have the official permission to do so and won’t get into too much trouble over it later on.  She has to know that we already did the work, so this might just be to cover her side as well.

We also received a call from out mortgage broker.  He needed some documents signed right away.  So we found a Staples near our location and had him send the documents through e-mail.  Once the Documents were on the smartphone, they where printed out, signed, had Staples fax them to the broker and then overnight the originals.  Who says you need to be at an office to get paperwork done.

The dogs got picked up from the kennel and are so happy.  It took ten minutes of them doing a happy dance of joy before they could be loaded into the car to head home.  Now the waiting begins.
