The 448 House
Episode
This story is so long & involved that it would take
to much time to explain in actual detail, so I will
present this story in point form. It shows how it
seems to be that I was guided to purchase my current
home in Belfountain, Ontario. I also feel I was
protected from a potential purchase that may have
resulted in some serious expensive problems
afterwards.
At
every key point in this experience a 448 would show
itself either in a forward or backward form.
1.
March 31, 2003 – went to
driveway to pickup empty recycle bin. Lying in the
bottom was the most current edition of Resale Homes
magazine. Why was that in the empty box? Did my
landlord lady leave it to give me a subtle hint to
move?
2.
I then drove to my 9pm
Aetherius Society meeting. My girlfriend Erica & I
reviewed magazine while driving & we were attracted
to a house within magazine. After debating
aggressively whether to make an appointment, a car
drives by at that moment & the license plate read
“APPT 448”. We both felt the “APPT” meant
short form for appointment.
3.
We called listing agent &
after making the “appt” we hung up the phone & the
call ends at 8:44 pm precisely.
4.
Met at Georgetown office
next morning and van trip odometer reads 084.4
parked in driveway.
5.
Commented on beautiful
home on magazine front cover. Turned out to be in
the area. Drove 10 mins to “Stewarttown”. Odometer
reads 215,448.5 as we pulled into driveway.
6.
We viewed home a second
time & gave message of intent to make offer.
Paperwork was prepared & signed at Johnson &
Associates office next day. Trip odometer reads 144.8
in driveway.
7.
Told real estate agent
“Anna” my 448 stories & she is impressed. A bigger
shock was about to come.
8.
On the day the offer is
submitted I went to my lawyers to get his opinion &
the bottom line is after an unbelievable amount of
delays the offer comes back & is accepted at exactly
4:48pm, as it was displayed on the digital
fax readout which I had the secretary announce out
loud to witness.
9.
A mistake was discovered
by secretary upon review. The seller forgot to
sign!! Correction was made by my agent Anna who
drove to seller to get it done. I was driving home
at the time she called to confirm. As phone rang my
eyes were drawn to the trip odometer – 244.8
10.
Two days later my
mortgage was approved. Trip odometer reads 344.8
in bank parking lot.
11.
Then the house
inspection reveals a 30-50k basement dry rot
problem.
12.
Upon this knowledge, we
went in with lower offer. Later on, while driving,
I started worrying whether I would be able to afford
this house and immediately a car drove past me with
the license plate “ACFM 844”. The first
thought that popped into my head was that it stood
for “Allan can financially manage”.
13.
It turned out soon after
that the offer was rejected. It wasn’t meant to be,
but the story doesn’t end here.
14.
Met with Anna at the
house to sign for the return of the deposit. Van
clock reads 4:48 in front of Stewarttown
house.
15.
About a week later
(April. 13th) we were driving up Hwy #10
to a motocross race in Mono Mills. We were late as
it was so we decided not to go and to turn onto the
Forks of the Credit Rd instead for a nice scenic
drive. Saw a nice house for sale and decided to
call on it. We had Bill Owen (agent) paged and he
ended up calling back at 4:48pm. We made
appointment to come see it for 7:30pm that night.
16.
The very next day we
phoned at 4:48pm to make an appointment for a
second viewing.
17.
Drove BMW to 6:30pm
meeting. On the way up the odometer read 184448.
The trip odometer reads 144.8 when we arrive
in Belfountain. The odometer reads 184485
when we pull into driveway.
18.
To make a long story
short, we made offer, it was accepted and we signed
final papers on April 17th at the exact
time of 8:44 pm as it is stated on the
papers.
19.
On our drive home that
night we pulled onto our street (Lorne Park Rd) and
the trip odometer was at 244.8. What a nice
way to wrap up the end of our house deal!
Overall the total number of occurrences that the 448
number showed itself was at least 17 times. These
were all naturally occurring and not manipulated in
any way. To whoever or whatever it was that was
giving Erica and I this guidance throughout this
very important process I would like to say ...….Thank
you!! |
