I am so sorry to hear about the house.  That Realtor lady sucks, and I hope you seriously file a complaint against her.  Living in an apartment is not always an ideal situation but now you’ll have more time to find another perfect house.  I’m sure there is one out there, just waiting for you.  And you wouldn’t want to settle for just any old house just so you could live in an apartment and not a house, right?

I’m sorry you didn’t get the house.    But maybe you shouldn’t look at it as a negative thing.  You are right in saying that everything has been a “God thing” in this whole move.  This may just be another “God thing”.  He may have planned for you such a perfect house that may not be ready yet and you need to wait a year before getting it.  This other house may seem perfect to you but remember, God sees the bigger picture.  Sit tight and wait for Him.  You know He will talk to you and Will.  He will tell you where to go and where to live.  If He doesn’t want you somewhere, you’re not going to go there.  Make the most of this experience - and be thankful that you don’t have to mow a yard! LOL   Take care and I hope to talk to you soon!

I am with Mrs. BFW- no yard work. Oh yeah! Seriously, the realtor lady just stinks. I am so sorry that she cost you guys the house. I do think though that the apartment living will be ok. You guys will have so much more unhurried time to find THE house. Maybe this was not it. Maybe it was and your realtor just stinks! Regardless. God brought you guys here and he isn’t going to not bring you to the home and wonderful new start here that you all are destined for. Hang in there and have fun looking for houses without feeling rushed. You guys will find the perfect place. I know it.

Oh Brit, I’m so sorry.  I was so hoping to not have this be your news today.  :(

Honestly, you should file a complaint against the realtor.  That was horrendous.

Really, though, sometimes crap just happens.  It doesn’t mean it was God’s will for you to lose the house, it just means it’s the way it played out (as in, free will, yaddayaddayadda) and that sucks.  It’s ok to be angry...you never know, God might be sad about it, too, wishing the realtor had made better choices and been more responsible.  HOWEVER, God will help you make something good out of this, and who knows?  The house you end up in might be TWICE as perfect as this one was.

Take heart, Brit...on to bigger and better things. 

Brit - I am SO freaking sorry to hear that!  I truly hope you file a complaint against your realtor - I cannot believe how incompetent she was!

I’ll be praying that you and Will find the house God has in store for you soon.  You’re right, it truly DID seem like a God thing.  And I am sure he has a more perfect house in store for you and Will.

I’m so sorry, that really is a big disappointment and I hate that things did not work out the way you wanted them to.  That sucks!  :-(

Ugh!I’m so sorry. . .I’m with everyone else on this one. . .wait it out and it will be better tenfold. Take care chickie ♥

I’m sorry that things didn’t work out.  Grrr! 

But, YAY, you’re back home!!!!!!  How exciting!

I think everyone has a “we mised out on the perfect house” story, but usually the whole saga has a happy ending.

Did I ever tell you we didn’t originally get the house we ended up buying? Someone else put a lower offer in on it minutes before we put ours in. Obviously, the sellers took their offer. We continued to look for houses, hating everything we saw. Then, 4 months later the phone rang: It was the sellers. The first couple had fallen through because they couldn’t secure a mortgage. if we still wanted the house, it was ours.

The moral of the (very long) story is: You’re doing the right thing not settling for just any house you are so-so about just so you can get a house. Taking an apartment for a while will let you look at your own pace and get reaquainted with the area. You’ll find something you love and it’ll all fal into place. Don’t be sad ... but definitely file a complaint! That’s just poor business on the part of the realtor!

Damn realtor!  Maybe there was a hidden major thing wrong with it so it is a good thing that you didn’t get it.  Let’s just pretend that so you feel better.  Did Boz and Lucy have to get quarantined when you came back to the US?

Oh my gosh!!  that lady SUCKS!!!!  I am so sorry to hear you lost the house, but I am sure there is a good reason - as in, a better house!  Don’t stop looking, now is the BEST time to buy! 

Welcome home! 

Oh, I’m so sorry about the house Brittny. I’d be mad at the realtor, too. I’ll keep you guys in my thoughts. I know an apartment isn’t ideal but I’d hate to just settle for a house you don’t really love.

Oh, you soooo need to start calling her Sucky Susie Realtor. Because that is just plain awful!!!!!

If you feel too tired to give her a piece of your mind, send me her number and I’ll unload on her for you. There’s just no excuse for that type of idiocy!

So sorry again, hun. Don’t lose heart - something will work out for you guys.

Oh Honey, I’m so very sorry. I know just how you feel being there a few times ourselves. I very much thought that those were where we were meant to me, not knowing that God had not shown us our house yet - just as he likely hasn’t shown you yours. Maybe an apartment is the step you are supposed to take, giving you time and flexibility to figure out some things. I know it’s not what you had in mind, but just remember to be faithful and patient. {{HUGS}}

It won’t make you feel better, but please fire that woman and complain to her manager.

Just a side note--we put in offers that didn’t end up coming through on 3 houses (we thought each was perfect) until the 4th one that finally went through.  I am so happy with the one we got.  You are right--it is God’s will and you will find the house you are meant to be in.
