* I started looking for a place in Oct./Nov. 2014. We had made two different offers, but they weren't accepted.
This one came on the market, had open houses on Sat. and Sunday( 2 hrs. each). and took offers on Monday.
I was unable to see it because we were snowed in on the mountain. My realtor said it was the best one yet, so we made on offer (sight unseen, YIKES). There were 12 offers total. Several were above ours, but thanks to the clean contract that my realtor wrote, ours was selected. They did counter (I was super stressed it would be too high), but it was all reasonable. Now I just need to be accepted to school!
