Oh my! I only just saw this - thats just dreadful. glad that you got yourself a good plumber... there has to be a claim somewhere - check your own insurance plus the real estate people as well....... hope you fell better after that drink and YES!! I think you were very restrained

That is what I was thinking.....and that is probably why she said the dude barely touched it because the listing agent knew she/ her employer could be liable.

No kidding!

I would be having a long chat with your relator. He is bringing people into your home to view it, not destroy it. I'd be pissed off to the extreme.

Let us know how it goes and good luck Doll!!!

Would you believe it?

The people who broke our pipe are coming back 4:30 to 5:30 for the third time!! I have to assume some real interest and a low ball offer
I give them credit - I wouldn't have the nerve to come back.

Just to keep it interesting, the couple who showed up while the plumber was here (they had not rec'd notice of cancellation and wanted to see it anyway) are coming back too. At exactly the same time as the plumbing busters!

There is a third showing at noon today with new folks.

I have persuaded Don that we will leave the house before any of the people arrive. Don scowling at them will not get this sucker sold.

crossing finger, toes & everything else crossable that one of them Bites!
You need a stroke of good luck right about not.

everything crossed!

wow, I am impressed with the number of showings.

Our last house was on the market for 18 months....

[mums the word]

Two viewings at the same time....could be really good to make at least one of them feel like they need to make a good offer, FAST.

I can't believe the guy who broke the pipe has the nerve to come back. I'd never do that in a million years!

Chicago, my cute little town of 35,000 people just 7 years ago has exploded to over 100,000 - almost all new builds with squat for yards. I live in 'Old Milton' where even a small house like mine has at least a 50 x 150' lot. This house hasn't been on the market for over 25 years and is rather unique in it's architecture. It won't suit young families but is great for people with just one kid, or dogs or retirees. I expected the interest and given that it has been on the market for less than 2 weeks and we have already turned down one offer it is just a matter of weeks.

I hope...I pray and I hope some more

The guy who broke the pipe is probably coming back to low ball you and say that there's broken pipes so you should reduce the cost!

Actually it was weirder than that. The woman who is interested and whose father bust the pipe didn't come back in but sent a designer. There are things she wants to do and I guess is checking to see what can be done.

The other couple who came back again today are quite interested but they have some concerns about some of the electrical. You have to have an ESA (Elec. Safety Assessment) to be able to get insurance and you can't get mortgage without insurance. It will be checked out on Wednesday/Thursday and resolved if possible.

And yeah Z... I could see exactly that happening too.

It was the first time buyer couple who made an offer tonight. I'd love for them to live here and make beautiful memories. We will know by 7pm tomorrow.
