Sorry for the delay, Anthony! I haven’t been active on BP lately. Dan Grishko as far as I know is the best person to ask! The CdA meet ups appear to be happening still. 

It is— 6 to 7:30 at Keller Williams on Stevens. 

Perfect!! Thank you all!

Hello again! Has anyone worked with a roofer they would recommend? We have an early 1900s 1750 square foot Dutch Colonial with a barn style roof. 

Hey guys! Our experience with Vista was not optimal. It may be the individual and not the company. Char has not been unpleasant or rude in any way, but ay, we are going nuts with the little (and not little!) mix ups. 

Their software miscalculated seller closing costs by literally $7,000. Our seller called in an absolute panic and had just been told that sometimes the excise tax surprises sellers. When we called she said same thing to us, but when I asked how she was calculating to get $7,000 she took pause and said, wait, that's insane! She said she'd send a new seller cost breakdown "right away." Three hours later, we got a buyer cost breakdown. We called again and asked for the seller breakdown. She resent the buyer sheet. We called again and finally got the right doc with the right numbers.

She also sent lender info to the wife of our lender team but not the husband, she sent docs to my partner and not to me and listed our lender as the "Assistant" in the web portal by accident.

Personally, we've had a lot of laughs when the number of times we call, the odd little errors we uncover and the way she addresses us on the phone borders on the absurd. The excise tax error and the sleepless night it probably caused our already stressed-out seller wasn't funny at all, though. And of course, we're all human and it could very well be a fluke. That said, we've been turned off to Vista and we'll work with someone else on another house we're closing now. Has anyone worked with Tico? 

Dan, please do add us to your email list! Just sent you a message with my email. 

Take care, everyone!

Hey guys! I'm slowly realizing the depth of community here on BP. Will there be a meeting in November? My boyfriend and I would LOVE to connect with you all here in-person. I'm sorry we missed the one just a couple of days ago! 

Thank you so much!! We sent all of our docs to Vista today -- thank you, Dan -- after Spokane County Title told us yesterday that despite our signed docs they wouldn't be able to close until next Friday at the soonest! It sounds like I'm having exactly the same luck as you all. 

I'll save the attorneys names for the future. Our deal now should be an easy, straightforward SFH, no assigns or creative anything. Hopefully all is smooth with Vista and we close early next week!

I'm excited to dig deeper into BPs and plan/join an in-person meet up. 

Hey Eastern Washingtoners! Has anyone found a title and escrow company that closes quickly and accurately, that's familiar with the needs of REIs? 

Thank you!

Hey! Is this new? And is it an official Washington REIA? My boyfriend and I have been in Spokane since July and we've been looking for a good REI meetup. We received a big sales pitch from another REI club and were told by Shirley at REIA Washington that there weren't any local branches.

We thought we would start a group that could ultimately hook into the official REIA network. Is that what you're doing here? The "no sales pitches, just networking" motto sounds like exactly what we are looking for!

We look forward to meeting you all!
