Hard to Believe -- A Smooth Sailing Transaction

I had a very smooth closing on Thursday. No glitches at all. The house sold for $390,000 and both the sellers and buyers were very happy. The lender was USAA Federal Savings Bank. The listing agent only talked once to the lender. Unblievable, I know! Both the sellers and buyers were happy with the closing.

But, after reading Martha Brown's post, Famous Last Words... Don't Worry...We Will Close On Time... Yeah Right, ..... I realized that I was very lucky to have a smooth closing. The listing agent, Lynn Tuckwiller, and I kept each other informed on all transactions, it was simply the best transaction to date.

I was lucky for two reasons: (1) Great listing agent and lender; and (2) even though I was sick, there were NO glitches, and the deal was a success. See my post, Just When You Get Sick...Real Estate Starts to Pick Up.

I've heard so many times the statement...."If you don't have your health, you have nothing". I find that statement so true. For two weeks I was connected to an oxygen tank with a 56 foot cord. A little cumbersome at times, but thank goodness it was only two weeks. There were a few times, I could have choked or fallen on this LONG cord that continuously kept twisting and causing a few, not so nice, words to come out of my mouth. But, the "life line" has been removed, and I am off of the oxygen. Just in time I might add.....I could see an accident in the making wth the cord.

So, with all this going on, it was hard to believe the closing had no glitches and was smooth sailing.
