Pushing Papers Across a Desk

Sunday, Christie and I wrote up an offer on a condo. She submitted (faxed?) it to the selling real estate agent yesterday morning. She gave it to her clients yesterday and they came back with a counter offer. I listened to it and countered again.

On grander scale, but this feels so much like buying a car. Write down an offer on a sheet of paper and slide it across the desk. The salesman takes it to sales manager who writes down another number. Back and forth. Back and forth.

Thinking about my offer and the reasonable counter the sellers came back with this is going to happen. I know where my new home is going to be. Now it's just a matter of pushing a few more pieces of paper across the desk and filling out a shit load of paper work.
