the home buying experience SO FAR...

So you all know that Daniel and I have been looking for a home to buy for about 2 years now. Many houses we have seen. My poor agent is ready to put us in a home. Well we have put in 4 offers, the first home we were out bided on (We LOVED that home), the second home - the bank wouldn't come down in price AT ALL, the third home were out bided once again and now we have been accepted on a home. We have waited over 2 months for an answer and even longer to go into escrow. We are in escrow now and have some roof issues that need to be addressed. We need a new roof on the garage for sure, it has been in bad shape for a while and leaks into the garage AND the roof on the house has many blank spaces and the edge is all torn off. We are concerned there is mold damage in the wood. Well, I got estimates on both roofs and now we will submit a "request for repair" and go from there. The really really really sad part is.... if they don't work with us on the roof situation then Daniel and I will have to walk away from this home. We can't afford to replace two roofs.

We know and trust in GOD's plan for us, but it is hard not to just give up on the dream of owning a home here in California.......

I will bog an update when answers come my way =)

Janet I am confident that everything will work out the way that it is supposed to. You will get the house that you want.
