Hey, you became a homeowner just a few hours ago! Congrats. :-)
As tiring and headache-making as this procedure was, some good things came out of it. You rose to meet the challenges that were presented - finding a real estate agent, sifting through mortgage offers, arranging for inspections, negotiating with the sellers - and resolved them all. I still say that's no mean feat.
Also, thanks to the fantastic building inspector you chose, you're going into this purchase with eyes wide-open. You know about all of the house's flaws now and can correct them accordingly...which I'm sure you'll do well. I have faith!
So now that you've made your decision - is there anything I can do to help with the closing/moving/new-homeowner-support process? :-) I know that I'm a fair distance away but if you think of anything, just drop me an e-mail or call (phone # available to you upon request).
Thank you for the offer! I'm not sure what you can do from your current location. Trask has submitted a bunch more online forms to try to get us a mover; hopefully one of those folks will get back to him. I've got an appointment with a contractor on the Monday after next, to get an estimate on the cost of taking care of the house problems that the sellers aren't fixing. (At this point, I'm seriously thinking of running the A/C into the ground rather than replacing it before it breaks. We've got a window unit anyway, so even if the A/C died at the height of a heat wave and it took two weeks to get someone in to fix it, we'd still be able to get by.)
I'm not sure what I could do for you from several states away, either, but the offer stands. You never know. Stranger things have happened! ;-)
As for finding a mover, as long as you don't hire the company Kage used, you'll be fine. They broke some of his Corelware, for goodness sakes! I didn't think that was possible.
