Ready to go... wait.... don't go.... wait.... ok...
I finally got the insurance issue taken care of this morning. Then I called the settlement attorney’s office and was told “It looks like the settlement will not take place tomorrow. There is a problem with the seller's corporate status. We’ll have to call you back in a while to let you know the date will be rescheduled or not”. Well, maybe it wasn’t those exact words, but close enough.
Anyway at 2:45 I finally got the call saying “It looks like everything will be taken care of tomorrow morning so the closing will take place as scheduled. You’ll need to bring a certified or cashier’s check in the amount of $xxx.” I walked to the branch across the street and had them prepare a cashier’s checks for lots of cash made out to the settlement attorney. The attorney's name is Keith Richards. The bank kept asking if the check was for "THE Keith Richards". I insisted that it was for Keith Richards, Esquire, not Keith Richards, Rolling Stone.
Tonight I have to go to Home Depot and purchase 3 new deadbolt locks and some additional security hardware. I hate buying them in NY because the sales tax is much higher than Virginia’s. However, the nearest Home Depot or Lowers to the Virginia location is about 30 miles away.
We’ll leave tomorrow morning around 6:00. Hopefully it won’t rain all of the way there, but according to the Weather Channel it looks like it will be a long wet ride.
More to come …
