The Waiting Game

This morning I had to initial some changes in our contract to lease the house. We were able to negotiate a lower rent (Yay us!) and we needed to have the house cleaned, a sink in the master bathroom repaired and the debris from the previous tenants removed. My real estate agent emailed the contract and I had to print it, initial the changes, scan and email it back to her. What sounds like a simple task took me forever! Our printer/fax machine hasn't been networking with our computers correctly so I had to wing it with programs that were new to me. Finally she received the email and has forwarded it on to the other agent. Now I have to wait for my husband to gather the funds and put a deposit in escrow. It is my hope that we get everything together early and get access to the house a week or two earlier than August 1st. Hours of driving, coupled with long work days are taking a toll on my husband. Plus, my daughter is spending the summer with me and I would really like for her to get a feel for the place before she goes back home to Louisiana. I've done my part and now I play the waiting game while my husband and our agent do their parts. Sunrise, Florida, here we come!
