Move Date Set

The date for our move from the storage unit in Surprise to our new home is set - May 29th. Our close on the 28th will make it close as we are counting on getting the keys at the closing. Actually, I recall that the keys aren't turned over to the new owners until after the recording of the deeds and closing which should occur the same day. Anyway, we will finally get rid of that monthly expense and also get to introduce ourselves to our belongings for the first time in seven years. We have spent a lot of money during that time on the storage fees, but there are many pieces and items that have sentimental value and memories that would be impossible to part with. We will use a company called Soft Touch Moving which I found on Angie's List and is highly recommended for this area. Almost all of the reviews were very positive.

I also heard that we received our approval to move forward with the mortgage yesterday and today I will discuss the options we have for packaging the loan. We have some conditions which are always attached to a mortgage approval and I will receive that list today. So, it looks like this is going to happen. The work has progressed at the house and I understand that yesterday the tile was cleaned and I believe all that is left for that list to be completed is to perform the repairs to three roof tiles that were discovered cracked during the inspection.

The only potential problem for us now is coordinating our days off from work to get everything done. It's a shame that we have to deal with that problem at all, but that's how it goes...
