Crazy Whitespace on the Home Page

Greetings! I don’t know if I’m not seeing something obvious, but there is a really odd amount of wasted space on this front page of this theme. I’m on the edge of buying it, but want to know if there is a way to get rid of the whitespace… Specifically, between the top of the footer and the rest of the page.

It looks like you MUST have either a post or a page above the footer… and I’ve put on there, but even with that content, I feel that it’s just not tight enough.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
