23 hours later: Accepted offer!

WOOOOO

Here's how that went:
7pm: Put in offer & email pre-approval letter to our realtor so she could forward it to the seller's agent.

11pm-6am: Have nightmares of rejected offers.

7am-12pm: Research mortgage lenders. (Because oh yeah... we might need one.)

9am: We receive a counter offer for substantially more, but it was still reasonable & affordable. In order to get closing costs covered, we had to go above their counter offer. So basically we are financing some closing costs in the mortgage. We knew they would counter offer for about what they did because a comparable condo, 3rd floor in the same association, sold for even MORE in November.

9:30am: Submit acceptance of counter offer.

(9:31-6:00): Check email every 5 minutes to get confirmation from seller of acceptance of counter offer/ Freak out.

3pm: Get phone call from our original realtor who went on vacation for Easter and now wants to take us back; we like our new realtor better so we had to contact the district manager to keep her. The district manager called and thanked us for our kind email and switched us officially to her no problem.

5pm: Schedule home inspector for Saturday and notify our realtor.

6pm: Realtor notifies us that seller has confirmed our accepted offer and that the papers are off to an estate manager for additional signatures.

6:01: Freak out.

The end.
