How many people does it take to get to the center of a condo sale? [1]
Today's the day.
At 3:30pm I stop off at Condo Conner to figure out which of three keys is the
house key. Not readily using that key, I had forgotten which key was the
actual key. I was a bit upset that I could only find one potential key as I
was supposed to supply two. Then I remembered—one I gave to the handy man [2]
and one to the realtor [3] and that's all I had. I didn't have time to make a
copy so I was hoping that was okay.
Having found the correct key, I get back into the car and headed over to the
realtor office for the closing [4]. I arrive a few minutes late due to
traffic (I got stuck at a left-turn light for three cycles). That apparently
was no problem as the buyers spent the time signing papers.
I managed to get by with signing my name only half a dozen times, which is
weird since I've had to sign my name about a dozen times when getting my car
(bought it outright) and about two dozen when getting insurance on the car.
Heh. Go figure.
One hour later (and about a bazillion signatures from the buyers) and I'm out
one condo.
I am officially debt free!
No credit card debts. No car payments. No mortgage. No student loans (not
that I ever had any). Nothing.
I have achieved the modern American Dream! Debt free living!
Along with one of the largest checks I've ever seen. I actually cleared a bit
more than I was expecting, which was very nice.
The final price was only a thousand less than my asking price, and because I
paid the [DELETED-extortion-DELETED] association fees last month, I got some
of that back so the actual amount paid was only $705.86 below my asking
price.
Not bad at all. Although that now means I loose a deduction at tax time.
The entire closing went without incident. Well, okay, there was a small
incident but it's still unclear who knocked over the water glass, and
fortunately, no documents got wet. But other than that, the closing went
without incident.
Oh, and by the way, it took six people to close the condo sale.
