House Hoop Stress

Buy­ing a house is ridicu­lous­ly stress­ful. I’ve nev­er had to jump through so many hoops, had so many balls to jug­gle and peo­ple and things and doc­u­ments and who knows what to coor­di­nate in my entire life. I’ve been on the ball the whole time, but wait­ing for oth­er folks to catch up or fol­low through gets fair­ly annoy­ing. I just had a scare because my real estate agent called me up and said I need­ed proof of res­i­den­cy from my land­lord for the title agency. This is two days before clos­ing, mind you, and my land­lord is out of town for who knows how long. Turns out my banker had sup­plied them with the nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion, but I’m still try­ing to get my insur­ance doc­u­ments faxed over to him. He’s been moved around and pro­mot­ed time and time again for the past few months so I’ve got 3 dif­fer­ent phone num­bers, two fax­es and an email address that I don’t think he checks very often. Just give me my god­damn keys!
