Re: UPDATE!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

I hope I am not reading too much into this but....
This past Tuesday 3/11 a couple came to do a walk through with the Realtor. They were very enthused and gave positive signals. They left and I felt they were very interested, however no further contact. Yesterday the realtor called and said the couple want to return this morning around 11am to do another walk through. Can St. Joseph and all your prayers be working this quickly?

I couldn't sleep all night thinking about todays visit. I will keep you all posted this afternoon as to the outcome.

Lighting a candle that they make a super offer and you get to close real soon!

Re: UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Worked for us 3+ years ago!! God works in mysterious ways! I do feel we were steered here after a tough long haul and many trials and tribulations in our life. Now the rewards have arrived! Sure is heavenly here!

Re: UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Okay, not such good news. It seems the couple were not in a good mood when they arrived here. From what I gathered from the realtor is that the wife WANTS this house but the husband wants to go further south to North Carolina. They have children and grandchildren in north Jersey and he wants to get further away from them. The wife has made up her mind but he has also made up his. Will the wife will win out, I don't know. :dontknow:
My realtor lady is supposed to call later and give us the scoop. We heard the lady say to the realtor while her husband was out on the deck. I've lived in that house for 37 years, now it is his turn to give a little. We are disappointed but as Rokinronda says God works in mysterious ways. St. Joseph is still kicking........
Update 6pm: Realtor just called and confirmed our suspicions. The couple are fighting about what state to live in. Why me! Guess I will have to put this thread on hold for awhile. At least we get to close on the 31st and spend a few days in paradise.

Johnny, no luck for us yet. I have to pray harder to St. Joe. He's upside down in the front yard but I heard he's too close to the house. I don't know. Please please spring time bring us a sale. Good luck Johnny. Keep us posted on your success. Will be at our home in TV right after Easter or two weeks. Maybe with us out of town, things will pop. From my lips to God's ear.

Re: UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Maybe the wife will get enough in the divorce (or in life insurance) to buy it on her own. You can only hope.

Re: UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Scottke good luck, if either of us gets lucky let's bring back this thread to post and celebrate. We also will have Susan&Tom on the hunt soon. I'm not sure but there must be 20 to 30 folks waiting for their house to sell.
Muncle, the wife seemed a little timid to me. She did not seem to be the one in
charge. But you may be right, I can only hope!

Jonny,

Don't ya just wonder what goes through peoples' minds?

Why is this guy looking at homes and doing walk-throughs in New Jersey when he wants to move to NC?

Go figure!

Keep us informed. Good luck

Re: UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Peggy, according to my realtor, Nancy, the story goes his wife is very hard to please. I'm sure he felt she would never be happy with a house in NJ so he just played along with her. When they went to do walk-throughs they would take two cars. When they pulled up to the house where they had an appointment and they didn't like the looks of the house, he would beep twice and pull away. That was a sign to Nancy that they will not even go in to look. Well what happened is when they came here she fell in love with the house. She was besides herself and he was confused. On the way out he said you will be hearing from me again. He told Nancy after leaving the house on the way to the cars "why did you have to show her this house, now she'll never move to NC". That's when I thought it was sold, until this happened. When Nancy called and said they want to come back for a second look we chilled the champagne. Little did I know the fiasco that was to take place. Life is definitely an adventure. I will keep you updated. Johnny

Thank you Donna, maybe my St. Joseph is waiting for "his" day!

Re: UPDATE!!! Getting ready for St. Joseph's Day BIG TIME
 

Johnny, Donna and I will make some Zeppolas (spelling?) on "his" day so maybe that will make him happier!!

Good Luck, I know it will drive you crazy, but when the right couple walks in, you will know and feel so elated.

Love ya, Kathie
