A few days after we got the paperwork from DR Horton officially terminating our contract we were able to meet up with our Realtor, John. He got us in to see five of the seven houses we wanted although one already had a contract in on it. The two we originally thought we were going to love, we hated, yet we couldn't stop gushing over one. You guessed it. The one that already had a contract. Turns out the sellers were in the processing of countering an offer thy had received. As the title suggests, we pulled a little Swiper action and snuck our offer on the table in the middle of their negotiations. Later that night we found out that the sellers would be meeting at 11am the next day to make a decision. So we waited. And waited. At 12:30pm we were sure that they went with the other offer.... it had just been too long. But, SURPRISE (insert sarcasm), our real estate agent called around 12:45pm and WE GOT IT!!
There are few more steps like the home inspection and appraisal before closing. Since we know all too well how wrong things can go we are trying not to get too excited before the keys are in our hands... but its hard ya'll! This one just feels right.

Speaking of our real estate agent(s) if anyone is looking for a house in the Northern Virginia we HIGHLY recommend Century 21 New Millennium specifically John Queeney and Bob Scherbarth. Bob showed us over forty house and wrote 5+ offers in two months. John fought for us throughout the whole DR Horton debacle for over six months and got us this pad. If you want more info about our experiences with Century 21 New Millennium, John, or Bob feel free to message me!
