My 2 cents...

Okay, we were kicked out of our house this weekend -- twice, in fact! For very good reasons -- we are still in the process of selling our house and we hadn't had a showing in almost 3 weeks, until this weekend. So, we were more than thrilled to have a showing this weekend. The first one on Saturday went well. Then, today, we received a phone call to show the house again from 4-5PM today, Sunday. So, Aaron & I packed up Payton and headed out in the sweltering heat -- went to the local Baskin Robbins, had some ice cream (pictures will be posted tomorrow), and then to the park. We ended up staying out until 6PM playing at the park and sweating profusely! When we got home, I inspected the house to see if they showed up, I stated, "I think they were a no-show"...THEN, the doorbell rang at 6PM!! TWO hours after they said they would show up! Did they not read the etiquette book on When buying a house:

1. Thou shalt not enter into a house in which prospective buyer, knows in advance, that they will not be able to afford the taxes (this one makes Aaron and I FURIOUS!)

2. Thou shalt attempt to call 1 day in advance to house showing (instead of 2 hours prior to desired showing time).

3. Thou shalt not enter into house during nap time.

4. Thou shalt not show up 2 hours late to a house showing that was set up the morning of said showing, on a day of 90+ degree weather with no relief in sight, without a courtesy phone call to tell current owners that possible prospective buyer is running late...


But, we smiled, said "give us 5 minutes to leave out the back door" and we walked around the block, parked our butts across the street (out of view) and waited for them to leave. Now, we pray that they will put an offer on our house and then all the above will be negated...
