September 2012 Weddings

Ugh! Beyond frustrated (NWR)

FI and I were supposed to be closing on our house tomorrow.  We've been aiming for tomorrow for a while and have been prompt about doing everything.  We just couldn't get the title company to give the go ahead for a date and time but our broker said the 22nd would be no problem.  Now the title company is saying they may not be ready!!!!  They are missing one thing that is a public record and shouldn't be difficult to obtain.  They've had our contract for over a month....wtf have they been doing?! 

This isn't just our first house which is exciting as is, but it is kinda our freedom back.  FI and I have been living with my parents for almost 10 months and it is just destroying FI's happiness.  Which is putting a hardship on our relationship.  We still aren't a couple who all-out fights but we snap at each other more and our sex has declined big time. 

I'm just so frustrated because no one seems to tell you anything until right up to the deadline and I'm a "planner."  And to make it more annoying, if we delay closing we have to pay the seller an extra $100/day, but if they delay the closing, it isn't to our benefit at all.  I'm so glad house-buying is something you only do once every decade or so!   

Thanks for reading my vent.  I just want to be settled in our new place and have my relationship back to normal before the wedding!

ETA: Our realtor also told us today that if ANY part of the state of Florida goes under hurricane watch/warning, by law there can be no home closings.  So if we don't close by this weekend everything could be delayed even more.

Re: Ugh! Beyond frustrated (NWR)

  • I understand your frustration. My FI and I bought a house recently and closing kept getting pushed back for reasons that were completely riduclous and could have been easily handled by any competant person.  It was beyond stupid.

    Just know that as soon as you close on the house, tons of stress will be lifted and you will LOVE your new place.  I know that planning a wedding and buying a house at the same time is crazy stressful.  Good luck.

  • goodness! all sooo stressful... like you don't have enough stress with wedding stuff! I remember when me and FI bought our house it was a mess! we were living with his mother until we closed and fixed it up b/c it was horrendous! So I can totally relate! I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this now when it should be the happiest time of your life! Smile Just remember to breathe! You only have 39 days left! You can do it!

  • I would definitely be frustrated if that was me! I hope that everything works out to close tomorrow for you!
  • Thanks for the warm wishes ladies.  I'm most frustrated becuase FI is at his breaking point.  I start to cry whenever I think of the heart-broken expression he's going to have tonight if I don't have some good news by the time he gets home from work. 
  • Good luck with everything on the new house.  You are very brave to take on buying a new home so close to your wedding.  It will all trun out okay keep your head up.

  • FI and I just closed on our house last week so I definitely understand your frustration. We went through a lot of hurry up and wait during the buying process. We were told that we would know the day before the closing how much money we needed to bring in. We didn't find out until about 5 minutes before the closing was scheduled to start! That was the most stressful day of my life! But now that we actually own the house and have our keys it was so worth it! As PP said the stress will be gone the minute you sign your papers. Hang in there!
