ok, so its august 7th, the contract was accepted on our offer, sent to the people who know more than I on big words meant to misconstrue the simple idea of borrowing 800,000 bucks (yeah - thats how much it really costs in the end), and we're in great anticipation of what happens when one gets out of attorney review. we pounce on every phone call. we bite nails, staring at gmail constantly looking for an email from either the attorney or our real estate agent.
so i think.."has it really come to this? american dream my a**, i've become a pawn of the system.."
then, the attorney phone call chimes in while I'm at the trailer.
"Hey Nancy!", sounding excited at first, then realizing I sound like a dweeb, try a more lackadaisical tone. Nancy is an attorney whose tone is very direct - and business direct at that. "I received the return fax from the seller's attorney", she says "they basically stated that the contract is cancelled, and that they want to entertain other offers."
I could have sworn there were loud crashing noises coming from my groin area - some of which I hadn't heard since my first girlfriend told me that infamous "it's not you, its me" line. I wound up muttering a sheepish "what...does that mean?", knowingly disregarding the simple english and grammar she used to get that point out.
"Well", she dryly stated, "its very odd, but they seem to have just voided the contract for no reason.."
