We heard back from the homeowners. We have a slight huge gap between our offer and their counter offer.
I detest this part. The haggling, the offers and counteroffers, the bullshit.
Sparky lives for this part. While I am in tears, stomping around screaming things like "You're going to lose us this house with your 'Let's Make a Deal' bullshit," he's happily conspiring with his dad (our realtor) and coming up with yet another counter offer.
Still optimistic but I just want to stay out of this part as much as possible. Because, really? I would just give them the price and move in and apparently that's not how it's done.
