"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Inspections always find a ton of things that may or may not be freakout worthy.

Actual notes included: "this step isn't level. Trip hazard" and "stone in backyard path slightly raised - trip hazard."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Very exciting, Hec! Fingers crossed.

Drinks are on you if you do, Jess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, David!!

Well now I want to make an NFT that's just a picture of a tulip. (And sell it to some crypto-bro for a billion dollars.)

The only problem is you can't sell it for actual dollars, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

After the inspection report came back on the first house we bought, Husband had to call my father and be reassured that most of the things were not a big deal.

Fingers crossed for y’all David! So wild to be able to make that kind of offer!

I can see someone wanting to cash in on the NFT craze. But I don’t understand buying them. It’s ridiculous.

Our wings are not tired.

We paid a bunch for an inspection on our house from the pickiest inspector recommended to us so that we would have a punch list before we listed the house. It was worthwhile.

So the guy who sent his contractor today was the guy who just looked at the house yesterday. Recently widowed and wants to move with his two teenagers from Parkland. Since two of the bedrooms have identical walk-in closets and bathrooms and are the same size, adjoined by a pocket door I think that could work well for the kids. The realtor said the contractor loved the layout and location. Digits crossed that the Zmayhems will be buying and the Holts selling soon!

You've been in our apartment. You know how we've been living or the last 16 years. It's very strange to be in a position to buy a place in San Francisco when for a long time we were struggling to hang on to renting in SF.

Btw, the house we bid on is about a block and a half from the hospital where I saw you after you messed up your ankle.

May all the real estate stars align!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just talked to our real estate agent, who talked to the seller's agent.

Seller said (same thing he told us) that they weren't looking at bids until Tuesday.

Our guy said, "C'mon now, this is just a smidge below what you were asking the last time before and you couldn't move it and pulled it off the market. Our offer may not be there next week."

Seller's agent said, "Well....would they be amenable to letting the current tenant staying until the end of the school year?"

Our guy: "Didn't you read their letter? They specifically said they would."

[Also we talked to her in person today and told her so as well.]

Seller's agent: "Hmmmm."

Our guy [after application of both carrot and stick]: "Talk to the seller and call me back tomorrow. There's no point in waiting for a better offer when you have what you want in hand."
