Officially Friday our house has been on the market for 6 months. We've had a few prospective bites, but so far no offers. However this week a couple came through and was interested in a potential "rent to own" situation. We aren't opposed to a lease to purchase, but it was quite obvious after a little research that this particular couple was not qualified, and we politely turned down their offer.
However, Friday evening the same couple stopped in front of the house as Howie was outside playing football with the boys. Their purpose was to explain their situation, I'm sure thinking that if we could put a face to a name we might reconsider their offer. We had no intention of changing our minds, but the woman made an amusing remark that pretty much solidified our decision. She told Howie that they told all of their friends that we must be pretty cool people to have a "bumper sticker like ours" on the back of our car. As die hard Buckeye fans, our Buckeye leaf magnet looked to this non-Ohio State fan like a giant Marijuana leaf!
I don't think we'll be renting to them any time soon.....
