Buyer's Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas, and in need of a house

The buyer was stirring, just a computer and mouse;



The thoughts of Dream Home with chimney they dare,

In hopes that a Realtor soon would be there;



The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of their own rooms danced in their heads;

And mamma in her robe, and I in my perch,

Had just logged on to Active Rain to conduct our home search,

When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,

I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.

The rental units plumbing had sprang a big leak,

A call to the landlord, he informed me the plumber would be there in a week.

The thoughts of our own home arose even more,

the passion for home ownership was becoming a chore.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

our search on the web had produced something dear.

A three bedroom home that would be perfect for us,

A call to the agent was surely a must.

I knew in a moment when the agent answered the phone,

our prayers could be answered for the place we call home.

The agent had told me the home was bank owned,

he even informed me, "they will provide the loan."

Now scheduled a pre-ap the agent did say,

the information they need is what your employer did pay.

The meeting with the mortgage broker ended with a smile on our face,

Our hope and our dreams were nearly on pace.

The next step a tour of the home that we chose,

our hopes that the seller's accept our offer, who knows?

Our agent had called us the offer is good,

do we schedule a mover we asked if we shouldn't or we should?

I was told to check our moving list twice,

the move would be easier, wow, that would be nice.

The closing it happened without a glitch,

the moving trucks loaded with trailer on hitch.

The process of buying a home showed no pain, 

Thanks to the education we gained on Active Rain.

So now that wer'e settle in our new home of choice,

We wish to exclaim in our most positive voice.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good buy.
