We are Seattle residents again!
...Well, almost. Technically we still have 3 weeks here, but we have now officially closed on our new home.
It wasn't easy getting everything in order from London. There was a lot of paperwork and since we only had 30 days for closing, most of it was needed immediately. And it wasn't easy finding a house from London. We've had countless Facetime house tours from different countries and made six other offers that were beaten out: I'll never forget standing outside of a wine cave in the dark and snow in Budapest listening to an inspector give us a report of one of the houses we put an offer on.
But we had a lot of help along the way. Katie was amazing touring practically every home in the Seattle area for us. Jake and Lacey were our Power of Attorneys - they actually signed our home ownership docs (30 signature lines!) Christina, Gail and Nancy also helped with touring and advice. We are very grateful and couldn't have done it without this stellar Whamley Seattle House Hunting crew!
Our house (I like the way that sounds!) is in the Wedgwood neighborhood. We've toured through it four times on FaceTime now and fall more in love with it each time : )
Aaron and I are very excited and anxious to see it in person. It is one of the biggest life decisions and purchases that we've made and we haven't even walked in the front door! While that would probably scare a sane person, I've come to realize that Aaron and I can make anywhere home. And I have a good feeling about this one : )
Lucky number 7!
Love this so much!!! Can't wait to have you so close!! :) <3
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to see your faces when you enter this wonderful home. It is even better in person than in Facetime tour. Congratulations! XO
