Buying Property

As some people know, we are very unhappy where we live because of the people moving by us and the owners. A couple years ago we were given a house that we were planning on fixing and selling. We started work on it and the person who gave it to us changed their mind and kept it. Needless to say we were devastated when she went back on her word and thought we were doomed to stay where we are.

I was talking with a friend at work in August and she mentioned that her sister is a real estate agent and she would get her to look. Later that afternoon, her sister had found what sounded like the perfect piece of land for us. The owner was willing to finance and it was 5 acres in a central location for our needs. We went and looked at the property a couple days later and fell in love. It has lots of trees and even a stream running across it!

 So for the last several months, we have been working with the realtor about getting things settled on the land etc.  We close on the property this Thursday, December 30th at 3pm!  We are soooo excited! (Imagine seeing a couple of big people doing the happy dance!!)

Anyway, I am inspired by my cousin Courtney's blog about renovating their house and decided to do the same thing for our new adventure.  So for the rest of my break from work, we will be VERY busy working around the house getting ready for the big move.  Stay tuned for more adventures with the Hoffmasters!!
