ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

So the last time I posted about the house, it appeared that we were done w/that house (and we might still be) but the sellers surprised us by coming back and saying they'd make the repairs. Wait, if they have money, why weren't they maintaining the house better in the first place or even better....why weren't they making their house payments? They want to use their own contractors to do the work and our realtor has some personal experience w/some of the contractors and it didn't work out well. So they are basically trying to make the repairs for as little as possible so they will appear to be ok but we doubt they'd be done correctly.

The sellers and realtor have a lot on the line. If this sale doesn't go through, the realtor loses commissions and the sellers will go into foreclosure. While that's terrible for them, it's not our responsibility to make sure it goes through.

Andy and I are still in discussions about it and will post an update when we have one.

On the job front, I had 3 hours of interviews w/the ad agency that went well. Some people apologized for the interrogation style interview since there were so many people throwing questions my way. The people were nice, smart and it felt really good. The main guy that I've been dealing with is out on business right now but I'm hoping to hear back from them sometime this week.
