Closed on house!

So... I closed on my house yesterday. My loan company didn't yet fund the loan however. Until they fund it, the house isn't actually mine. Ugh. Now I have to wait until Monday. It was pretty awesome though. I took the seller for a little bit of a ride.

It was in the contract that the seller would pay up to $10,000 for any closing costs. My mortgage broker made the closing costs EXACTLY $10,000.00. She was kinda angry and said that the broker had inflated the costs. Inna (my realtor) told her that if she wanted to accuse people she needs to talk to the party she is accusing directly.

Next she wanted me to purchase 2 AC units she left there as well as her split queen boxspring. The stairs at the front of the house are too narrow to take a normal boxspring up so that is why she has a split. She wanted $100 for them. I told her I would give her $60. She said no she wanted $100. I told her that I wouldn't go higher than $80 and she accepted that. Then she wanted me to give her another $20 for the dresser and armoire she was leaving in the upstairs bedroom. They would have to be disassembled to take them downstairs. I said no, if she wanted to leave them that she could, but I wouldn't pay her. She was like, "For $20??? They are nice pieces of furniture!" I told her that if I didn't want them that I would have to take them apart to bring them downstairs, so no, I won't pay for them. She said, "Fine... just keep them."

Coolness...
