I made it my objective to get all the thanehoods I could without completing the main quest line. I have the Hearthfire expansion so I can do this for the three build-your-own-houses that came with that addon. I had no problems at all getting a house plot and thane status in Dawnstar and Falkreath. I went for my last house to obtain, Windstad Manor, from Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone. I completed the child ghost quest and killed vampires. Then I got the quest to appease 3 townsfolk. I made three townies happy. I got Thanehood and a housecarl! AT NO POINT DID SHE EVER OFFER TO ME TO BUY LAND to build a home. My housecarl, Valdmar, acted like he was going to walk out the door then changed and sat in a seat. Who knows where he is now?
I can't find anything on this type of "glitch?" What do I do?
