I just read another blog which indicated they let the buyer move in 5 days early to take the pressure off a fast move.
I can't think of anything worse. I've been there, done that -- and it was a disaster.
We wanted to accommodate the buyers -- give them time to move. The buyers, their agent, the lenders, everybody said it was a "done deal." No problem. It will close on time.
So, we moved out. Stayed in a rental while our new house was being prepped. Guess what? You know the answer. The home didn't close. It took nearly 10 stressful days until it did close. Plus, many of the costs weren't adjusted so we ended up paying for heat, water, etc. It would have been too burdensome to have escrow re-do everything. What a nightmare. I wouldn't wish this on anyone (well, maybe some people, you know who you are), and I will never again let my clients move in our out before COE.
It's not over 'til it's over.
What are your experiences? or thoughts?
Have a great weekend.
Happy sailing ... _/)
