Many of you can relate to a time in your lives similar to what we’re going through, buying and selling homes at the same time. (You may or may not have been living in an RV and trying to pass a kidney stone at the same time though.)
The next day or two are very important for us. Our Indy buyer has been very aggressive in asking for us to fix things and it has come down to the last item that they have until Monday at 1pm to agree to. For those of you not following the MD buying saga, we’ve put in two offers on houses and lost them. During my kidney stone medical stint on Friday I found a new house just listed that day that seemed perfect. We went and saw it and made an offer that night. (Yes, I entered into a very large contract under the influence of powerful pain killers.) We’ve heard that the sellers already have 3 offers and 3 more showings Sunday and will be reviewing all offers Monday at 1:30pm. We’re considering sweetening our offer tonight.
This house is absolutely our favorite house from the tons that we’ve seen and it seems perfect for us. Please join our family and friends in praying that God delivers us through these next few days and weeks to come. We desire to focus more of our energy on our family and our new ministries. Pray that if it’s His will, 1. Our Indy buyer takes our offer and the appraisal to follow is high enough and 2. Wisdom to make our best offer and that this Joppa homeowner picks our offer. To Him be all the Glory!
Thanks for your prayers.
Pat and Katie Gerber
