Well, the deal that was supposed to close today is not closing. Now, my buyer is not ready. I won't get into the details right now because I am too pissed off.
It's supposed to close tomorrow, now, although who knows what will happen.
Now I get to call the listing agent and the title company who I have been harassing for the last week to get this closed on time, and ask them if it can close tomorrow instead.
I love looking like an unreliable jackass.
I don't understand why it is so hard for people to keep their word. I guess I expect too much.
Also, I don't get this whole "wait til the day of closing to tell everyone that I can't close" strategy. I mean, if you know you aren't going to be able to close on time, why not LET ME KNOW ahead of time instead of stringing me along?
Good times.

Pissed

So is real estate investing. It's going to be a stressful line of work if you don't learn to roll with the punches. I am not being critical but I have been investing in real estate up north for 7 years, strictly reo's, and I am more suprised when something closes on time! The banks and listing agents deal with this all the time.There are always so many factors that have to come together to close that it rarely seems they do! Probably not what you want to hear when your pissed. Sorry.
P.s. I really enjoy your blog!

Hi Chris,
I don't think there will come a time when I won't get pissed off that someone tells me the day of closing that they are not going to be able to close on time.
I don't think it's askng too much to at least keep me informed as to what's going on, whether it be good news or bad.
