The house search begins!

After searching several websites, for months on end we finally decided to reply to an add on craigslist and schedule a viewing! Which led us to our amazing Realtor Dee Owens with Remax! Upon scheduling a day to go out and view several homes that met our criteria she also suggested a great mortgage company to start the pre-approval process! Mind you we had started this process twice with two unnamed banks and found the process completely discouraging! Not this time, Mick with Cascade Valley Mortgage made the whole process as easy as possible (for those of you who have purchased a home, know this is quite the process... including tons and tons of gathering paperwork) Within a few days we were pre-approved and now had an idea for the price range we should be looking in!  With this in mind we set out on a rainy almost snowing Saturday! We visited two homes in Renton that didn't really strike our fancy... but then we went to OUR house in Maple Valley and another after that and then back to our house!  After visiting the house the second time we went back to the Remax office and decided to make an offer on the house! One of the most nerve racking, exciting, anxiety risen things we have ever done!
