Our Sellers Finally Get to Closing

Will Joan and JamesOur wonderful sellers, whom we have grown to love dearly, finally got to the closing table yesterday.  Originally scheduled to close on November 30th, this transaction has been a nightmare.  The buyers and buyer's agent have been wonderful.  Unfortunately the lender they chose was a completely different story.  After four extensions, we got to closing yesterday and found that the lender hadn't bothered to order the wire.  In Colorado, we fund at the table.  Don't you think if a lender is going to do business in Colorado, they would pay attention to this?  Our title company called the lender and got them to wire funds at 2:00 yesterday afternoon and luckily, the money arrived before we were finished.  I won't mention the name of this horrible lender, but I guarantee that I will never be in a position to do business with them again, EVER!

Here is a photo of my business partner, Will Hamm and our clients, Joan and James.

We know that the new buyers will be happy in their new home as it was filled with happiness and love for many years.

Spill it!  I know you don't want to put it on your post, but how about an email? We need to keep a lender blacklist. I wonder if lenders have one for real estate agents?

Oh, and congratulations to you and your sellers!

It is becoming harder and harder to say anything bad about a company. There are lawsuits all over the place by companies suing people saying bad things online. I guess we really need to put a lot of effort into word-of-mouth for those companies.

Hope you have been having a great end-of-year holiday week with lots of fun and food with family and friends, not to mention a little business with those clients!

Thanks Russel.  It is a little scary to mention the names of companies that you so badly want others to know about.

Belinda,

So glad you had a happy ending!  Yes, although there a lot of wonderful lenders, some others can certainly antagonize everyone involved in the transaction.
