CHAPTER 3

Bryan and Bonnie spent the rest of the evening talking about the accusations.  They were wondering what they had gotten themselves into and with whom they were dealing.  Dr. Krueger of course had no proof, and would she go as far as pressing charges?  Bryan and Bonnie just didn't know what to think of this woman.  Courtney, the couple's realtor, called them again that evening to tell them something else.  Dr. Krueger, the seller that refused to show her home, was now permitting other potential buyers to view her home.  Yes, even though she was under contract, she decided that now she would start approving the showings!  She was well within her rights to show her home because it was still hers, but why now if she hadn't been doing it before?  This didn't sit well with Bryan and Bonnie.  It was also brought to their attention that she was "pissed" because the inspectors came.  She was not happy about them coming on Tuesday since that was the day she had arranged for a friend to come over and visit.  Seriously?!  (Mind you, buyers have a 10 day option period in which they have to get the inspections done.  The seller is supposed to be accommodating according to the contract.  Inspectors are very busy in this current housing market, and are not easy to schedule.)  Did she even want to sell her home?  Bryan and Bonnie worried that the seller would back out of the deal altogether.

They still needed to negotiate the findings on the inspection reports regarding the Elm Street house.  Considering Dr. Krueger's emotional state, the couple was doubtful she would cooperate with them.  However, the seller's agent called Courtney the next day and told her that Dr. Krueger was in good spirits (bipolar anyone?).  Courtney submitted the inspection report to the seller and the seller was quite agreeable with the terms.  Well that's good news, right?  The couple's spirits were lifted since the seller seemed a little more sane.  They were sitting a little more easy the next day, having agreed upon a monetary value for the repairs with the seller.  They were also happy that their own home selling was going as planned.  The seller came to find out that her son did have a party while she was out of town and caused the damages.  Bryan and Bonnie never received an apology, though.  That's ok, they thought, we just need to get through this transaction with this difficult woman, and won't ever have to worry about her again.  She seems to be cooperating for the most part, so it should all be downhill from here.  Or so they thought.....
