pit in life

As a Chinese who seeks stability like me, I thought I could settle down by buying a house in the United States. It turned out to be more difficult than I imagined. The weather is hot, and I see that other families in the community are busy installing air conditioners. Our house has it too. Looking at the yellowed shell, I guess it is the same age as this house, and it is also the same age as me, the same 81 years, and the same old age. The noise from the air conditioner even overwhelmed the speakers connected to the TV. To cool off, watch the subtitles.

Afraid of the heat in the summer, Pig reported for repairs to the ceiling fan in the master bedroom very early. When I bought the house, the ceiling fan was broken. What's very strange is that the person who repaired the house didn't write this in the report. Our agent means that this is a small problem. The seller will add a one-year home warranty to the contract. In fact, there is a dishwasher that is broken. This is actually the fact that the company that paid for the inspection is simply taking a formality, and has not really done anything for the buyers who paid for it. Because the seller's agent had to meet with the workers before we arrived, I thought there was something tricky about it. The agents of both buyers and sellers hoped to facilitate the transaction and got their commission, so they reached some kind of agreement.

For a long time, I think that the real estate agents are the masters of the empty-handed and white wolf. In China, they are an agent who earns money with a commission from both ends. Here, there are two agents for both buyers and sellers, both of which strive for the best interests of their respective employers, but After buying a house, I don't think that's the case. In fact, they just want to facilitate this transaction, and the buyer's intermediary is to bid, understand the bottom line on our side, and make an offer. Like our house, it was bought with the price added by the owner. In China, you can only buy a house at a lower price, but here, the one with the higher price wins. So, if the house is in high demand, you will have to spend more if you want to buy it.

Back to the home warranty issue. If it is not mentioned in the report issued by the testing company, then the home warranty has to be guaranteed. So, our dishwasher was repaired after half a year. I didn't get paid for a replacement part. And the ceiling fan at the back began to charge various fees. The first door fee is $85. Debited directly from our card and sent a bill return. After waiting for more than a month, the notification came to check the problem. A black woman came over to check it out once. Said it might be changed, she was going back to write the report and let us make an appointment for the next time. After another month, there was no sound, and the pig called to ask, and they set a door-to-door time. We waited at home at the appointed time on the day, but as the time was about to pass, no one came. Someone called and said they were waiting for news tomorrow. The pig got angry and called customer service again. Then came the black woman. Carry a new ceiling fan and fold the old one down. As a result, the new ceiling fan has no screws to install. Then he said that the ceiling of our ceiling fan is a little loose, and it is dangerous for her to install it. She has to pay 250 US dollars to replace the installation box first. She then walked away with the ceiling fan tool and the ladder. Let's make an appointment next time. What the hell is this?

It's been another month now and the hole in the ceiling is still there. And the home warranty company just disappeared without any response. Pig made another call. Under the long voice prompt operation, an impatient black female operator answered the phone. Don't ask me how I heard it, but anyone who has watched American dramas can recognize it. In general, the problem has not been solved. The other party asked us to pay 250 US dollars to continue. Our point of view is that it is not our problem that there are no matching parts. We do not want to replace the ceiling fan box. We can do both the money and the inspection fee. Buying a new one can make it fit. Are you underwriting, guaranteeing a loneliness? The pigs asked them to fetch the ceiling fan they were supposed to give us. They disagree. Then it's over. The black woman in the back meant to ask someone to do it again, but for a door-to-door fee. I think that capitalist countries really only look at money. Working people may also be brainwashed and must think of ways to make money.

One of the classmates who studied English together was cheated by her husband and friend when she bought a house, and she turned her face. The fuse at home was broken, and a Chinese person I introduced asked her twice to charge her $450. Later, she learned to replace the fuse by herself. Here, what you can do yourself, you can only learn to do it yourself, there is no humane and morality to talk about, and every gesture is just one word, money. I thought, if this is in my dad's hands, he's really rich. He is like an old mother-in-law in matters big and small in the village. He has never charged anyone a penny for repairing a lamp or changing a water pipe. Neighbors were polite and forced him to pack a cigarette.

It is said that living in a foreign country is a long way of life, yes, slow, wait, no rush. That's impossible~
