Goodbye Old Friend.....Hello Temporary Housing

Well it's official, everything is a go with the sell of our current home. We will be closing in early August. To be honest, we are quite ready to move to our temporary housing. Don't get me wrong. We love our current home. It has been a part of our family for the past 7 years, but once you are under contract it just feels like you are living in someone else's home . It's very nerve racking worrying that the kids will decide now is the time to put a hole in a wall, and you drive yourself crazy that every sound you hear is something breaking and you will be responsible for it. At this point, we just feel the sooner we can get moving, the better. I have to say we had no idea how expensive renting an apartment is ..jeez...luckily we were able to find one decently priced and in a good area, but it was not as easy as we thought it was going to be. With that being said, while we are not overjoyed about apartment living, it definitely will provide some stress relief (not to mention no yard work and the awesome pool the apartment has). So goodbye old friend- thanks for a great 7 years, but Rome is on the horizon. Apartment living here we come.



SOLD!!!!!

Lifting the Contingency

So, after sitting down with Ryan Homes and NVR Mortgage , we were able to draw up a contingent contract for our new Rome. I can tell you first hand..buying and selling at the same time is not easy ...necessary, but not easy. So since I'm still playing catch up we put our home on the market on a Wed and got an offer on Sat for full asking price...whoop!! With an official contract  we were able to go non-contingent. Now that that's underway , we can focus on options and selections for the Rome.

Rome Journey Begins

Hi there,
This is my first blog so hopefully this read won't be to painful. I am Mr. Dubs, I will refer to my wife as Mrs. Dubs and we have 3 lil dubs. I started this blog way to late so let me take a moment and get you caught up. We have been in our current home 6 years and while we love it , we simply have outgrown it. We have been looking in various communities in the Richmond,Va area for about the past 8 months. One day while we were out and about we decided to swing by a new, growing Ryan Home community. After viewing a model ,looking at some floor plans and also comparing size of house we could get for the money , myself and Mrs. Dubs fell in love with the Rome. It offers us everything we could ever want in a home plus more, so our Ryan Home Rome journey begins.
