GGrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

I am so angry.

I am one of those people who hates when someone gets angry at them. It just eats at me. Okay, here's what has happened:

Andrew and I have been househunting. When I moved here over a year ago, I didn't have a place to live. One of our board members, Josh, let me live in the Crye-leike building for a reasonably low amount of money. He even hooked me up with my landlord Ben when he heard that Ben had bought a house and needed a renter. I wrote Josh a thank you letter telling him how much I appreciated him.

Okay now back to buying a home. Andrew and I were interested in a home. Who did we call? Josh at Crye-leike. Josh wasn't at work at the time and his brother Todd (who I also know) offered to show us this house. While Todd was showing us this house, Andrew and I made it clear to him that we were very interested in purchasing a house. The next day, Andrew call the Crye-leike office. Josh answered and was not friendly at all with Andrew. Josh didn't know it was Andrew on the phone, but if he was rude and short with him on the phone why in the world would we want to do business with him. We then talked to Todd and made an offer on the house that we looked at. When Todd contacted the business that was selling the home, he was informed that there was already an offer on the table. After that, did Josh or Todd tell us about any other homes that we could look at that were in our price range? No! Did they offer to show us any more homes? No!

After that, whenever Andrew and I were driving around and saw a home that was for sale, we would just call that real estate office to find out the price of the home. We had contacted Childers Real Estate first. Mr. Childers was nice, but he as well didn't offer to show us any more homes. Now, my family has moved around enough for me to know that the realtor has always shown my family several homes that we in our price range, after all they are trying to make a profit here. Andrew and I then contacted Vandiver United Country to ask about the price on a house they were selling. Amy, the realtor, answered the phone and informed us that there was a contract on that house and it was closing in 2 weeks. She then said that she wasn't in the office but she would call us back in about 30 minutes to see if there were any more homes that we might be interested in. Amy called us back and offered to show us about 7 more homes. She even knew people who had had homes on the market in our price range but had taken them off the market because the market was so slow. She even called those people to see if they were interested in possibly placing their home back on the market. She was wonderful. She was nice and it turns out that all of her family does to our church and she has some in-laws that live across the street from my family in Dyersburg. Amy was working for us!! She was doing what she was supposed to do! Andrew and I then found a home that we loved...sold by Crye-leike.

Josh is now apparently really pissed off at me. He said that he gave me a place to live when there wasn't any other options and he didn't make any money off of that. He then found me a house to rent and he didn't make any money off of that. He has threatened to quit the board because of me. What the heck?? He was the one who wasn't doing his job!! Yeah, I admit he did do a lot for me, but when it comes time for buying a home-he didn't cut it!! Now I don't know what to do. Do I send him a letter explaining that I had just contacted Amy to find a price on a home and she started working on finding us a home? Do I lay low like my boss says and if he asks tell him? I don't know. The house fell through. I heard that Josh was willing to take less commission in order for us to get this house. I don't want him to take less commission. I would pay him more commission if it would make him feel better. I don't know. I really hate it and now it's going to be on my mind all day long. I can't win for losing.
