We got the house! The one we really wanted, the one on Park[1]. I called and left a gushing message last night ("We're so excited about the house! We really love it! I just wanted to let you know to expect our rental application first thing in the morning!"), and that seems to have done the trick. When I spoke to one of the landlords this morning she said, "We love our house, and we wanted to give it to someone who we knew would really appreciate it - so we were so excited to get your message last night."

So we'll be moving in the second half of June. Yaay! Everyone has to come visit us.

Sounds like you found the perfect place. I'm glad to see that both you and the sellers seem to be excited about your choice.
Have fun with all the 'new house' thrills. :)

I'm pleased to hear you found such a civilized house.  It'd certainly be to my taste as well, were I to live in Baltimore (not that I'm ever likely to, because L does not want to live close by her family).  I'm just apt to take you up on the invite, if ever I can manage to find a permanent job again where I can travel with the rest of the family when they're going back on one of L's infrequent trips home.  (I have a feeling the next one may happen whenever her grandmother, who's now 91, finally dies.)

oh, how excellent. i especially like that your message connected with the landlords -- that sort of thing validates my belief that honest excitement wins the day more often than not, even in business matters, *grin*.

Yeah, I'm really pleased about that too. It makes perfect sense, of course - these people put a lot of themselves into their house, so why wouldn't it make them feel good to think that we appreciated it? But I still felt kind of silly leaving such a gushy message. It didn't occur to me that it would be a point in my favor, I just wanted it to be a "please don't rent it to someone else overnight" placeholder.

I'm so glad you got that house, and I hope it is wonderful for you. The landlords sound like people who will want any problems you find to be fixed, which is also promising.


Here's to smooth moves and magical old houses.

Congrats!

Now that I'm local to you, visiting isn't such a silly thing.
