Can I vent about buying a house???? (Read 706 times)

I can't call anyone, everyone is working or in school.... my husband and I close on our first house on Thursday and I am SO STRESSED OUT! I guess it doesn't help that I work 44 hours a week and oh yeah I'm a full time student in college getting my degree in graphic design! I just got a call from the attorneys office if she doesn't get our home owners insurance thing today we're not closing on Thursday. Then I get pulled into a meeting that I couldn't even tell you what it was about, I call our insurance agent and he's all awesome and stuff saying it's all set, he's at their beckon call until Thursday not sure how much more I can take. I know I'm a runner because all I want to do is get out of here, go home, and go running, helps clear my mind! 4 more hours to go!

Buying a house is the most stressful experience I have ever been through-so I empathize! I couldn't eat or sleep! Just keep thinking about that run!

I agree 100%. I went with a local loan officer through Chase to get my mortgage loan, but after he did his work I was dealing with someone at the Chase corporate office. Every day someone (real estate agent, loan officer, corporate office, home builder, insurance agent, etc) would call saying they needed something else and I was faxing papers to them constantly it seemed. On top of that, I had JUST started a new job, and was 3 months away from getting married. Whatever you do don't stop running no matter how little time you have. I did, and I think I would have been better off if I hadn't. Good luck!

In keeping with the traditions of this site of positive encouragement, I would like to add that it will ge worse from here until you actually sign the paperwork. But, everything will be overcome and the closing will go through smoothly. When sold our house, the people didn't want anything, but they pitched a fit over the cost of the oil in the tank. there was a 60 dollar difference between the price I had paid and the current market cost. they were going to stop the closing to go rewrite all the paperwork until my wife offered them a cash refund. (the lawyers and bank people weren't able to think creatively). so if a problem comes up, don't think you have to stick with what the 'suits' want, be creative....

Jenny... I'm going through the SAME thing! My wife and I are closing on our first house on March 21st, and I'm terrified of whether we can pay for it or not because of all my massive student loans ($300 thousand combined between my wife and I). She is a spender, and I am a penny-pincher, and I'm really thinking we're going to go bankrupt!

I have had the pleasure of doing a couple of closings for friends and I know they can be stressful and overwhelming due to all of the paper you have to sign. Just have a good attorney and it should go off without a hitch.

That was the easiest part to me, we must have had a good lawyer. Just tell me where to sign!

That's how it's supposed to go.
