Buying a house: I'd rather pull my wisdom teeth without anesthesia.

Buying a house has been the most frustrating thing I've been a participant to in a while. I hope it's because we're family, and that's why my dad is being so lax with this. I mean, I really hope he doesn't have his clients call him to remind him of things he needs to to do to carry this on. It's so annoying and I should have seen it coming, since he doesn't do anything for free. But it is ridiculous. If we hadn't need him gifting his commission to us, I definitely would NOT have used him a realtor. I'd rather shoot myself in the foot. It feels like we're getting closer, and then something happens on his end to take us ten steps back. If this doesn't go through, I'm giving up all hope and pushing for the apartment.
