Our agent called an hour and a half ago saying we were officially closed on the new house and told us where the keys are. Now I just got off the phone with him and he was letting me know that he did a walk-through of the house and discovered that the sellers failed to do the most important project from our inspection response: remove the asbestos in the basement. (Ok, we can not officially say it is asbestos since it had not gone through expensive testing but our agent and the inspector both told Matt, off the record, that it is asbestos.)
This is after the drama of yesterday were there was 3 minutes left before the end of day to wire funds and they missed their deadline.
This was after the drama of the day before when Matt and I signed paperwork in the morning but discovered that they failed to include a $1000 credit to us. And told us it might be 48 hours before we closed. Then needed a more recent copy of some paperwork from us.
Only todays incident is actually the fault of the seller. The rest is the lender, and I muttered some unkind words under my breath every time Matt told me about more of their redundant paperwork requests and questions and delays.
The seller is in the basement of the new house right now dealing with the asbestos. Hopefully I can go to the house at 3pm today and find our new home in decent condition and ready for us!!

oh my word, seriously! At least the seller is dealing with it, instead of saying it's now your problem! Good grief...
