You finally beat out the too metrosexual european dog walker! Awesome! Hope the bidding war wasn't too taxing.

Congratulations...I hate when people say "things happen for a reason" (I always want to ask "WTF was the reason for 9/11?") but I've found it to be largely true when it comes to home buying. Everyone I know has "the one that got away"...and likes the one they got a whole lot better!!!

Mazel tov!

Just be formal in the interview: be nice to the board members, smile politely, and speak only when spoken to.

The big one is "why do you want to live HERE?"

other ones are, "tell me about the last place you lived? Have you lived in a co-op before? I don't understand ___ about your board package, can you clarify it?"

Congratulations! Are you buying into a small co-op or a big one?

If small, be prepared for ANYTHING. Aside from "why do you want to live here," we did not get a single standard question, and we got a whole bunch of oddball ones, including some that various brokers told us we absolutely would not get. (Some of the questions that we -- and even our references -- got were not legal. We were asked directly if we had plans for children, and a few of our references were asked if they knew if we had any plans to do so(!). By the way, I don't know if it's normal practice or not, but our co-op called all of our references and conducted formal interviews with them.

Almost congrats. When THEY sign it too, you will be in contract. For now, you are just "in waiting", which hopefully a week from you does not turn to "in limbo"
