I can't make that closing date.

Ouch!  I highly suggest out of state buyers use local lenders.  Just another way to keep things running smoother on a transaction.

I hate it when a buyer brings the unknown, unproven lender to the table.

William, let me at em.  As an ex-mortgage underwriter for a very successful company, PURCHASES ALWAYS COME FIRST.  So many of the companies and past employees I've talked to are bogged down because of refinances.  Sorry, but these companies really need to set their priorities or we'll find a way to not shut them down through the use of internet blogs like this.  Here's to a successful, ON TIME closing. 

William - I am a huge proponent of local & known lenders for buyer clients... Nothing can replace a relationship or the ability to drive over (within reason) to the lenders office to be the squeaky wheel in the reception area.  Buyers never get it until it bites them in the bum... no matter how much we try to stress it.

Things always seem to sun smoother when a local lender is involved. Good luck, William.

A professional lender is a key element to a successful real estate transaction.

Good luck an success.

William, it pays to contact the lender early and often, doesn't it?

Local, local, local is best. Fewer problems and better communication...yikes Bill!

hi William, I suspect that this lender was on the right path after that talk in the morning. Here's to no more glitches for you and your client.

Why do they do this.  Get someone close by.

Interessting how the lender changed his tune.

I can see how that would chaff your hide.

Basically he just didn't want to close on that day.
