Round and round we go....
Every day brings another fight with the developer. It's extremely draining and Adam and I have said many times that we wish we could just walk away. Yesterday, we FINALLY got a copy of the floorplan and the appliance information we requested. But of course, the model numbers weren't all accurate and we aren't sure if the developer is giving us the upgraded package or not - even when we think something is resolved, it isn't. The developer continues to screw-up and misprice/mis-quote things and then thinks he is doing us a FAVOR by honoring his committment. For example, he told us that the granite in the model unit kitchen was the standard. We said "great, we love it" and got it installed. He later learned that it wasn't the standard and actually cost more, so he tries to play it off like he gave it to us a freebie/bonus. No, you just screwed up!!!
So, the drama continues with the appliances. Now suddenly, the washer/dryer is one of those apartment-like units that saves space with them one on top of another. Of course, this costs less and is not what he showed me when we were in the appliance store together a few weeks ago. He makes the change, to somethign cheaper, without telling us.... grr... our realtor theorized that it was because there wasn't enough space in the laundry room, but this sounds like a load of crap because we saw the side-by-side units in the model unit and side-by-sides are in the original specifications.... if they really won't fit, there's not much we can do about it.
Our realtor "claims" that we are going to get the undermounts taken care of free of charge, in exchange for us doing the closets, but still no definite answer on that.
We are supposed to close on April 13th -- no idea how this will actually happen. Adam and I are extremely drained from all of this. This is zapping all of the energy out of us - Every day its something else. This developer keeps saying that he's doign us favors and he isn't doing this for any of the other buyers, but he hasn't even sold anything yet!!! We feel like guinea pigs because so many screw-ups keep popping up.... Looks like we have to deal with this for the next three weeks. I'll be happy when we finally close and this guy sells some more of the units.
