Well- today has been unbelievably busy and I am happy to report that the builder did make the change about the refund of upgrades in the event he does not meet his obligation to the agreement, as well as a minor wording change our attorney recommended.
As expected, he left in the arbitration paragraphs. Our attorney did miss something in terms of wording but she does not seem concerned about it. At that point I told her we are signing and she was ok with it. She knows how badly we want this deal.
The realtor is going to point out about this home warranty paragraph that makes no sense as per our attorney that the builder claims he couldn't find- but we don't sign that document until closing anyway.
So we signed the agreement once again electronically and as soon and the builder signs it our attorney will start the title search early- since this property changed hands recently. So if any issues come up there will be plenty of time for the builders to resolve it before closing. Smart.
I essentially was working like a paralegal today. Constant emails and reviewing documents again. Pointing out the changes via email to the attorney! So different than in NY where the 2 attorney's handle everything. Here- I was the initiator and the person doing everything- along with the realtor- I must admit- she works very hard. But crazy town! The attorney is like- well- which one of these issues do you want to raise? What? In NY- all of them would be raised! LOL!
So the roller coaster is in high gear again and I am nervous and excited at the same time! Our current home is being shown tonight and also on Sunday evening. (don't these people eat dinner?)
And.....we actually got an offer on our home today- BUT- it is contingent on the sale of their home which isn't even on the market yet. Ummm.....no. Sorry. Too bad- because other than that- the offer would have been good.
So- that is it! Back on track and feeling good again!
PS In my last email to the realtor, I signed my name and what will be our new address underneath! LOL!
