I could go for that.JMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-55895014847850205542009-06-12T06:56:40.623-07:002009-06-12T06:56:40.623-07:00I had recently put a contract in on a house and th...I had recently put a contract in on a house and the inspection went off without a hitch only to have it fall through on the seller's end 2 weeks before closing.
