Nashville - I had a buyer who was scheduled to close on the 30th of this month. The home she was buying was occupied, and the sellers of that home were buyng another one. It's the way real estate is supposed to happen.
My buyer could close at any time (assuming the sellers could close also), so she asked her loan originator if it would be ok to move the closing up a few days. Sure he said, "what day would you like", "how about the 28th she says", I'll get done says the loan originator".
Unfortunately, neither she nor the loan originator bothered to tell the real estate agent (that would be me). I get a call from my closing attorney on the 27th asking me what's going on. Needless to say, since the other parites involved were not ready to close, it didn't happen.
Was anything really hurt by all of this? Not really, but it could have been prevented by a phone call from the mortgage originator to the realtor. We try our best to make it a smooth process.
