Guess Who is Getting COAL Today?

Reblogger Marnie Matarese
Real Estate Agent with DWELL REAL ESTATE BK3105105

What a great sense of humor about a situation we seem to face every day in our world of realty.  Read it and laugh and I am forwarding it on to about seven pesky lenders who got us to the closing kicking and screaming the whole way.  If they don't want to lend the money, why do they keep advertising that they do?  Merry Christmas to all of you and I wish you the best in 2012!

Santa is very, very upset! He is currently working on a refinance that was set to close and the lender added conditions… As he stated to a very reliable source, "He has had it up to his red cherry nose with conditions."

 

The ELVES have refused to return phone calls to verify employment as they expressed this is just too busy of a time to call anyone.

 

He can’t sign his loan documents in time to make his lock as he will be leaving on an extended vacation starting 12/24.

 

The lender is asking for proof that Santa has not taken out any new loans on his Sleigh.

 

The lender is requiring proof that Mrs. Clause has been in the cookie business for more than 2 years.

 

When the Social Security Verification form was sent off the information came back stating Santa Did not Exist.

 

Due to a lack of Comps in the area and the Rural property the lender is requiring a second appraisal.

 

The copy of Santa’s Photo ID cannot be verified as there are too many imposters around to prove it is him.

 

The lender has required us to count the expense for Reindeer food and maintenance in Santa’s Debt to income ratio calling it “cost of doing   business.”

 

Santa has refused to sign the AKA statement as it is about 4 pages long listing this such as Kris Cringle, Father of Christmas, Jolly old man, Mr. Clause, Old Saint Nick, etc…..

 

Apparently the lender is trying call Mr. Claus’s work “SEASONAL” and they want to verify if he collects unemployment on the off season.

 

Guess who is getting COAL in their stockings today?

Santa probably would have a hard time refinancing.  He only works a few days a year and they dont like the seasonal income.
