Sale pending

[luisac]

What is the name of your state? Nebraska

I have two questions:

1) I have signed a sales agreement on a house I have had up for sale for a closing on May 15th. My question is should I ask my realtor to continue showing the house in case the sale does not go through? It is prime selling time and I fear that if the sale doesn't happen I will have lost a month! Or am I just being paranoid sinces the last sales agreement didn't go through?



2) Now for the other question about the house I purchased! Once I moved in I was welcomed by some neighbors from the neighbor association. I had no idea there was one!! Nothing was mentioned prior to or at closing. There are no dues or anything but I must submit for approval ANY changes to the home, including painting it, colors, etc. I am planning to paint this summer as well as replace some windows. Am I really obligated to submit my plans before doing these things??

Sorry, I was a bit quick with my question #1, I have read some previous posts and have the answer to question one...However, question two still stands!!

**A: yes, you still need to show. Of course you already knew that.

**A: wasn't there CC&R's listed in the title report?

**A: if the HOA rules say you do.

Thank you Home Guru for responding.

Of course, I would have prefered to hear that I can do whatever I want without checking in with strangers!! But I suppose I want to be a good neighbor and not cause problems....besides, it's not as if I plan on going with a graffitti motif with giant spinning wheels on the roof!

By the way...I am afraid I don't know what CC&R stands for.

**A: it's that 60's and 70's rock band, Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Ya know, they had hit songs like Proud Mary, Who'll Stop the rain, Born on the Bayou, Down on the Corner etc.

CCR's = covenants,conditions and restrictions. You need to get a copy. Your seller should have told you during the sale.

***If you call the Title Company where you closed, you can ask them for a copy of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and/or any bylaws. Your agent should have provided you with a copy of these things before you wrote your offer on your purchase***

My Sweet Hitchhiker, Souix is correct.
Maybe she is Looking Out My Back Door.
Well, I heard it through the grapevine.

Thank you all very kindly!
And I had no idea it was Creedence Clearwater AND Revival!
