[Freddie]

The condo saga continues. In our last episode we were at a stalemate. The seller refused to pay buyer’s commission, about $13k, and I wasn’t about to pay it on top on an already high sales price.

Then the tenants gave notice. Suddenly, the seller wanted to sell. He’s now willing to pay buyer’s commission, but he’s hiked up the sales price by $5k. Gawd!

I requested a second walk-through, which happened last Thursday. Quite helpful. I didn’t spot anything that could give me leverage on pricing, but we learned that what we thought was a built-out in the bedroom and which I’d planned to demolish isn’t a build-out at all. It’s cement and structural. I have a couple ideas on how to handle it, though.

I’m trying to make this work.

Vibes it all works out.

Thanks, Freddie.

BTW, Bruce and I have the same neurologist! I haven’t seen him yet, though.

Is that your family?

Great photo!

[Jeanne]

Must decide on dinner. It won’t be Genghis Cohen.

[Jeanne]

Vibes to all.

And a good week ahead.

TTFN.

[John G.]

I’m home from dancing.

[John G.]

Eating some leftovers.

[John G.]

The millionaire pie was delicious.

[John G.]

But only with pineapple and pecans.

[John G.]

The maraschino cherries were too sweet.

[John G.]

The coconut might be okay missed in, but I had it as an optional topping. It didn’t integrate well.

[Freddie]

Millstone alert - John G, you're getting close to an impressive 103,000!

[John G.]

Easy pie. I can see why people have made it all these years.

[John G.]

If I can blather for 19 more posts, Freddie.

[John G.]

And I can blather.

[Freddie]

If I can blather for 19 more posts, Freddie.

It’ll also help get us off this page.

[John G.]

So here goes.

[John G.]

Up on your toes.

[John G.]

As Larry Hart knows.

[John G.]

In his musical shows.

Poetry, not prose.

[John G.]

Anything Goes.

[John G.]

I suppose

[John G.]

Shall I propose?

[John G.]

Or dance on my nose?

[singdaw]

  Is that your family? 

'Tis, indeed.

[John G.]

Wear support hose?
