House Buying

[jennythereader]

A couple of questions for my friends who own houses:

How long did it take you to go from "I'm (or we're) going to start looking" to "thank goodness, we're (or I'm) all moved in"?

How much of that time was spent finding the house, and how much of it was spent jumping through hoops for the bank?

And there was the fateful moment when in the middle of the various negotiations between lawyers and owners and realtors when the phone rang from across the kitchen K screamed "You don't talk! I talk! Marty doesn't talk, only ALEX TALKS!!!!!"

Between quoting Madagascar, rolling on the floor in laughter and the shock of the initial screamed quote, the phone was answered and we moved on (no pun intended) with the process.

It's long, painful, but ultimately rewarding when one buys a house.
