Guess who got woken up at 2:16 am by a malfunctioning CO detector? Oof.
(Not alarm or low battery, different beeps. Probably dust.)
And then I had really boring Voice Loop training (think the mission control chatter, we will be doing that for commissioning for JWST) lead by a late 20something engineer with a dudebro haircut, but dressed like my 90 year old grandpa in 1990. Down to the old man shoes. And I didn't get any hipster or fashion affectation vibes. I was just like, oh. I mean, we have all sorts, but this was new.
Hoping y'all get better housing news.
Matt, as far as our agent can figure, the listing agent was only showing the owner offers that he was bringing in himself (so as not to split the commission with someone else), so the owner had already signed off on something not realizing what was happening. By the time he realized what was happening, the offer had already gone into escrow. He could take him to court, but that turns into everyone suing everyone and no one getting the house for years. I can't keep hoping for this house. It hurts too much. And I know it's only a house and we can keep renting and looking, but I get so annoyed when people (not here) chirpily tell us how everything happens for a reason and an even better place is coming, especially when those people do not live in LA and really don't understand how limited the options are or how expesive everything is. And we can't just move. ND's business is here. My dream school is here. Blah this post is stupid and I feel like I should just delete it. But it really was a place we could have been the rest of our lives with an apartment my mom could have lived in. And that's really hard to find, and she's getting older and has been having some health issues and I'm just kind of sick at heart tonight.
Timelies all!
Once again, Nilly said it much more eloquently that I ever could. If I have hurt or offended anyone here, I am sorry and hope you can forgive me.
Don't delete, Pix. I can't even imagine how hard real estate is out there. And I know what you mean about it being too painful to keep hoping. I'm just sorry you guys ran into such a shitty agent.
Ugh, that sucks, Pix and ND.
Also sucks for beekaytee!
May all of your housing situations work out beautifully.
Oh beckytee, just read your Beep Me. I'm so sorry. I hope you're able to figure this out.
Man, if I was that seller...I understand not wanting to have everything tied up in court, but I would have some things to say to that agent. Along with getting his license revoked.
OMG. Pix and ND, what a trial. Wanting something so much and having underhanded jerks take advantage of the system. How awful. I'm so sorry.

Seriously!
beekaytee, ack! Is the reason on the notice something along the lines of him changing the property's use? What's the date he's given you?
Amy, he's saying 'for personal use' which seems highly unlikely, given that he has a big house in Chevy Chase. I am meeting a realtor/friend tomorrow to talk about the market options because he actually has to offer me first right of refusal. Also, I can sell my tenant's rights though I don't know what that entails.
I am 100% certain that he did not discuss any of this with the agency that issued the notice, so my lawyers will be on it.
Frankly, if I could sell my rights for enough to find the right place, I'll suck it up and go.
He noted the out date as New Year's Eve, which is the anniversary of my moving in. Classy, as always.
Thanks for the good thoughts, everyone. I am grateful for all prayers/wishes/ideas. This is going to be a big deal.
Of course, I'm smack dab in the middle of hypnosis school, so am going to be struggling to stay focused. Funny enough, this is the one discipline that will be of most use in this regard.
I already have almost all of the 50 hours of practice booked that I need for certification. Once I can actually charge, it will be an enormous help. Right now, I have NO money for moving OR lawyers!
