Bump

Ugh. We've hit our first moment of frustration. I hadn't planned on posting anything about a potential piece of land until we had some great news in hopes of not jinxing anything. Then again... I have this blog so we can document the whole experience, so that trumps all. :)

Land in Blacksburg is LIMITED. There is not a whole lot of it, and there definitely isn't a whole lot worth writing home about in our price range. With that said... we found a piece. :) It's a great piece right outside of town limits very close to our home now... meaning it's on our side of town, which was a big must. Bryan's drive to Roanoke is already long enough, we didn't want him to have to add 10-15 minutes on top of it. I won't say anything more about it for now, but I will comment on our realtor.

I've been getting some GREAT and extremely appreciative tips from a high school friend of mine. She's a real estate genius, and I love her dearly. :) With that said... the woman we are currently working with isthisclosetobeingfired by ME. Bryan contacted her last Friday in hopes to work with her on getting this land. As far as I know she specializes in land. She told Bryan she would pull the comp. prices for us and get back to him immediately to start discussing an offer and whatnot. That same day he began working with a local bank and was able to solidify our loan approval. We have yet to hear back from the agent! WTF?! Frustration has more than set in. Bryan has called the woman and emailed her twice. We're at the point where if we do not hear from her in the next 24 hours... we're on the search for a new agent. Until then we keep our fingers crossed that there isn't anyone else looking at this land. Argh.
