Our First Home


So Lan and I are in the process of purchasing our first home. Everything went so fast. We met with a real estate agent on Thursday, saw homes on Friday and Saturday, and chose the one we loved on that Saturday. The Tuesday following we put an offer out on the home. Once we submitted our offer we found out that someone else had also put in an offer. We had to re evaluated our strategy and eventually kicked that person out of the game. The bank then gave us a counter offer which we refused and walked away. After several days they gave in and finally accepted our offer. We had the inspection done and our house past with flying colors. At the moment we are waiting on the appraisal and the paper work for the loan to go through. January 12th is our anticipated closing date. So within about 1 month time frame we search, chose and will eventually close on a home.

We're super excited and can't wait for everyone to come and see it.
