The agent met us at the library to fill out the paperwork. Since he works in Charlotte and we live in Hickory, we had to find a place to meet that wouldn't be inappropriate -- like work. (On a side note, it was my first time in the Iredell Public Library. It's nice!)
The paperwork was simple. We signed or initialed about five pages, including a contract authorizing the agent to be our agent.
The earnest deposit had to be a certified check, so we went to our bank and pulled out $1,000 (an amount determined by HUD). Money was tight, but scrimping until the next paycheck was an acceptable price to pay for our first home.
The agent took our money and our signatures and headed back to Charlotte. Well within the 48 hour deadline, we were feeling confident everything was going according to plan.
I started thinking about what we'd do first once it was ours.
