Done Deal

.

It's a done deal...we are officially homeowners!

We closed on the house yesterday morning at 10:00 and by 11:30 had the keys in our hands.

"Charleston's" mom did a little snooping/gossiping with some friends at church, who also live in our neighborhood, and found out that our house is the "Robinson house" to most of the older couples that have lived in the hood 15+ years.  The Robinson family owned the house for 30+ years before selling it in 2006 to the couple we bought it from. 

The sellers that we purchased the home from did not use the home as their primary residence but put their elder mother up in it when she moved to Charlotte.  Therefore the house has been very "easily" lived in and has been kept in great condition for a home built in 1968. 

When we arrived for the walk-through before the closing, the house had been cleaned from top to bottom and every original owners manual, to every single kitchen appliance, fan, outdoor lighting, etc. was laid out neatly on the counter.  From that point on I knew we were purchasing a home from my kind of people...neat and organized!!  LOVE IT!

We spent the most part of yesterday moving over little things and meeting the neighbors.  So far our neighbors seem fantastic.  The Bailey's beside us have lived in their house since 1975 and they have a daughter that was actually a teacher in Kernersville; my hometown! It's a small world!  I was a little intimidated that these "older" individuals would not like some young bucks moving up in their hood but I was totally wrong!  Each left us with a "Well come on over if you need anything!"

Let the weekend begin!
