My husband called my realtor well, since its after midnight, I guess its yesterday now and left a message on his voice mail that we will no longer be needing his services. The realtor has been taking a really long time getting the photos of the house on the internet and honestly, I have been a bit peeved myself.

So, after leaving a message with no return call from the realtor my husband called him again. Told him on the phone that "we" no longer need his services. The realtor went on the plead his case saying that the company he has to put the pictures on the internet is dilly dallying and wanted to know if we would at least give him a chance until Monday. Hubby told him that he would need to think about it and call him back. I kinda felt bad for the guy in a way. I dunno why, I always feel bad for some reason or another.

Anyway, hubby and I talked about it and decided that we would let him work until the open house on Sunday but if nothing pans out then he is gone. Case closed, right?

The realtor called back a few hours later and asked for me. LOL. He said that he has been doing some thinking and really doesnt want to lose "us " as clients and wanted to make an offer if we continued on with him. He said that he will reduce his commission from 6% to 4% and the difference he will put towards closing costs as extra incentive to sell our home. Now, mind you, this is on top of the 5000.00 we have already offered towards closing so the buyer will likely not have to come up with any money at closing. I thanked him. I also told him that he would also need to aggressivly advertise our home also (he hasnt been doing that to well). He agreed. I feel bad for the poor guy. Although, there are not too many realtors out there that would ever do that so in an odd, weird sort of way, we are very lucky.

Hubby and I also talked about the comments he made to me earlier about my meds. He said that he was frustrated cause I didnt answer the AC guys call which actually cancelled us off the schedule and they had to put as back onthe schedule but it pushed the appointment at a later time. In addition to that, he was stressed about the realtor and the move and said he was "sorry" he said that but did say that he has seen a change in me since I began taking the meds. He said that I have no backbone anymore. I dont really see it that way. I see it as having a more laid back frame of mind. I dont want to be jumping down peoples throats anymore. I like the calmness that I feel now. I just wish I could make him understand that I am way farther along then I was a few months ago. I think he forgets the 2-3 week time period I refused to leave our bed, shower, get dressed, brush my teeth or eat more then a half of sandwhich ever 2 days. Or the days I tried to commit myself. Has he forgotten? I dunno. I guess this is an issue that we will need to talk more about. I know my hubby loves me. That I do not doubt. I just wish he could just be a little bit more patient with me.

OK, I guess I could have written this last part for the relationship forums but in my defense, I started with the intension of just talking about the poor realtor.

Thanks again for allowing me to rant.

Much love,
