The closing finally took place. Of course, not without a few snags along the way...The wire transfer took a lot longer than I was led to believe, when I requested it on Friday. I called the bank (after many phone calls to/from my attorney, who informed me she would not be able to do the closing and issue checks without the funds --- well, makes sense), and arranged fro the money to be transferred from my passbook savings account into my checking (apparently, that was one of the causes for the delay).
During the phone sessions, I made my way to the condo to have that final walk-through. I was running about 2-3 minutes late, so I decided to give my real estate agent a call. She sounded a bit taken by surprise, so she probably forgot that we had arranged to meet at 11:00. Anyhoo, 30 minutes later, she arrives, and we go in. Of course, the seller did not do ANYTHING to the place that he agreed to (he's staying until the 15th on a per diem basis). I am assuming my kitties will be happily mouse-hunting for a while. Joy.
I met the attorney at 1:00 (seller, his attorney, and agents were not present), and was informed that the funds were finally available! After signing my life away, I placed a call to my agent, who was on stand-by, to pick up her check (all others would receive theirs by mail). The agent and I went back to the condo to retrieve the keys in the lockbox, because she didn't bring a set with her. She gave me two pouches of treats for my kitties, and promised to have my toilet replaced as a gift, once I moved in. Flush!
