Good house hunting

Things got a little complicated today…

My wife has a co-worker at Costco who wife is a realtor. He has been pushing…wait a minute, that’s a little too strong…he has been encouraging my wife to call his wife.

Well, last night I called her. I told her that we have already started working with another realtor but nothing much has happened so far. Guess what I found in my e-mail this morning?

She sent me 27 listings of foreclosures to go check out! She wants to talk tomorrow night to see which realtor I am going to work with!

That really didn’t leave me much time since I get off work at 5:00 and our mid-week Bible study starts at 7:00.

I spent my 1/2 hour lunch (and a little bit of work time, but don’t tell anybody) printing out Google maps and plotting the house locations and arranged to meet my wife in one of the areas. We started hunting at 5:30.

We like the first place a lot, the second was a possibility, the third was “what are they thinking”, the fourth no, the fifth was “mmmmm, no”, the sixth “No”. It seemed like things were going downhill and I was really hungry at this point. We started heading toward some food when I told her to make a right to check one more house out. I really did it just so we wouldn’t have to come back to that neighborhood!

Man, am I glad I did. A a 4 BR/3 bath brick house on a nice, big treed lot with a large pond out in back!

By now, it was 6:10. We had 50 minutes to drive 15 minutes to the Bible study and eat some food.

You know we did it…and it wasn’t fast food. We each wolfed down a nice salad at The 54th Street Grille.

How is that for productivity…7 houses and a dinner date in an hour and 15 minutes!
