Thank you all for the well wishes for me and the comfort and joy the responses gave me. Now on to making a resume and trying to get a job.

I google the word 'escrow' but I am still unsure what it means. Clearly you are selling your house but could you explain a bit more for numpties like me?

Sure thing. Escrow is the business aspect of the sale of the mobile home.. It is a change in title and so much paperwork to sign until the Escrow closes which will be on Wednesday next week and the buyer will have legal ownership of the house. I sure hope this makes more sense.

Gizmo, this is fabulous news! Congratulations! Many more happy memories to come!

It is a change in title

For many years, reading American articles on property, I was completely stumped, like Lucykat. Thanks for clarifying. Here we just call it 'transfer', which is self-explanatory.

Big day tomorrow Gizmo!!! Hope it goes smoothly!

So, did it close? Are you now a proud non homeowner? Wash your hands of it! Woo Hoo!

No it did not close today, now babe tomorrow. There is a hold up with two forms I have to sign. No wonder I was feeling numb today. I will believe it when I get the check in my hands. So very disappointed but that is far better than feeling numb.

Darn, I was really hoping it would all get done yesterday. So sorry Gizmo. Keeping my fingers crossed for today.

Very slowly, and then all at once. That's how property gets bought! Keeping my fingers crossed too! I hope it closes today.

(And very excited that it will be sold! A huge weight off, I hope!)

I admit that I am feeling so frustrated with the process but it is in Escrow and will close eventually. I am feeling depressed about the set back and am really crossing my fingers that my agent will bring the paperwork for me to sign today or tomorrow.

It will get done eventually, I am just so anxious to have it close and be free of it.

Thank you guys for your empathy and support, I really appreciate it so very much. Hugs.

My agent called the wife of the park owner and told her about the form that needs to be filled out and faxed to my agents office today. If she does it my agent will come over here for me to sign the final papers and Escrow will close tomorrow. Not holding my breath. They have been putting it off and had the nerve to send me a space rent bill. I asked my agent about that and she said for me not to send a check to them and it will be the buyers responsibility to pay the space rent.

Thanks everyone for hanging in there for me going through this. I very much appreciate the support and encouragement.
