Honestly the whole buying/selling experience is unnerving. I'm glad to only be selling, but the home inspection was strange. The buyer didn't come; it was his agent and the inspector. I don't understand why the buyer didn't come. I'd want to be there when they were inspecting the house I was buying. The troubling thing for me was when I got home that night, it was clear someone had been through my house. All the blinds were wide open, my shower curtain was pushed to one side and the clothes in my closet were pushed aside as well (the shut-off valve for the water for the upstairs bathroom is in the closet). I felt violated, it's strange to know someone was "inspecting" my house. For now, I wait and see if my house passed inspection.
Key dates of interest:

Aug 3 - leave for training in Colorado Springs
Aug 21 - back home
Aug 30 -fly out to London, Dubai and then Kabul
Keep Smiling,
Jen
