Final Repairs

I had been hoping that we would have our keys by now, but there is always something that seems to delay the final closing. As mentioned previously there are 7 things listed on the appraisal that need fxing before our lender with grant us the funds. Everything is now done except:

1. Carpet cleaning or replacement
2. Repair/replacement of cabinet doors/drawers
3. Interior paint

On Monday we sent our lender the notification that everything else was done and requested that they send out the appraiser for a reinspection so we can get our keys and start on the aforementioned repairs.

We waited...and waited...and waited...and waited. Finally yesterday (Wednesday) we heard from our lender that they are not going to send out the appraiser until after ALL the work is completed, ok great, so can we get our keys now then? No. They also told us that we had to submit a plan for when we are going to have all the repairs complete, great, I'll do that right now! But hold on a second, they also needed a writen quote on what it is going to cost to repair or replace all the carpet! What?! We don't have the keys yet so we can't let anyone in to give us a quote!?

So our lender told us they called someone down here and gave them the approximate square footage and they were going to send a quote by the afternoon to our lender! Great, I'll have everything else ready...by 3:30 they still hadn't received anything, so since I had gotten a verbal quote from one company, and he had gotten one from another we just sent everything in with the verbal quotes. Hopefully that's all that is needed and it will go through now!

We're not sure what exactly the next steps are at this point, but we are really hoping to have our keys by tomorrow since that's the close date!! I've already contacted a few people who are on stand-by to come out this weekend and help with paint!!

Days to Close: 1!! Tomorrow!!
