Burt Lake, Michigan's 4th largest inland lake with 17,120 acres of surface water, boasts crystal clear water, great fishing and boating, and is connected to the rest of the Inland Waterway where you can boat to the Great Lakes. The shoreline is dotted with cottages, old and new, quaint and grand, and old majestic trees and sandy beaches. Burt Lake is a gem in the North, and so many people have yet to discover it's beauty.

Back when we heard that Indmac Bank was seized by the governement I had some clients that had finally received a written committment on a foreclosed house owned by Indymac. We didn't know what to think of all the changes, and did not know if we would even be closing. After a few weeks of nothing, the listing agent finally had some communication with a title company representing Indymac for this sale. Two weeks later they were scheduling a closing, which took place on last Tuesday, much to our relief. My clients received the keys, and proceded to their new home. The other strange part of this whole transaction though was that there was no funds dispersed that day, but we were told "they would mail it to us", regarding the commission. We did receive the check on Friday. This entire transaction was that of truely delayed gratification on the part of all involved!
Charming location in Topinabee on bike/snowmobile trail and feet from Mullett Lake swimming. Large 4 bedroom, 3 baths, 3 car garage. Foreclosure sale, take advantage only $99,900! Property sold as-is, no warranties implied or expressed.

In regards to my first blog entry about Indymac's failure effecting a client of mine, just to report some good news in this.
My client's lender has had communication with Indymac's title company liason, and sounds as if they will be able to provide satisfactory proof of authority to sign on behalf of Indymac bank. There is some good news for my clients! And it could happen as early as this Friday, but we won't "bank" on that! (sorry, couldn't help myself)
I couldn't imagine them not wanting to collect on their assests, so we figured it would just be a matter of time (how much we time we didn't know) before they would resume communications and see this to the closing.

When I heard IndyMac had failed and was seized by the FDIC, I was stunned. It did not even hit me until a few days later how it would affect me in a personal way.
That was Friday when the government announced they had taken control of the troubled bank. On the following Monday, I realized that it was that bank, IndyMac, that owned a foreclosure house in my area that I have under contract with buyer clients. It had already been a very difficult transacation as far as receiving communication from the bank to the listing agent, and then also actually receiving a signature from them on the contract to purchase. Knowing now that this bank was crashing down, it sheds some light on that problem.
All of the hurdles were overcome, and then the news that the bank had failed. My buyers and I, and their lender, all wondered "Now What?" Will they be able to close on this house? Will it take some time to sort it out, and if so how long? or will it sit in limbo for so long, my buyers will have no choice but to move on?
We still have not heard anything in this regard, and can only continue to probe and pry, trying to get answers. A very frustrating experience for my clients and all of us involved. The listing agent cannot get any communication from those now in control of IndyMac. Never saw this one coming?
Anyone have any experience in this matter, or insight? would be appreciated
