A Tale Of Two Transactions in Arvada and Westminster, CO!

Westminster, CO- Things that go "bump" in the night, can make your hair fall out!  Or in my case, not shave until these transactions get CLOSED!!   Regardless, of the preparation and planning, sometimes there are elements that are just OUT of your ability to control.  Please, let me share!!

It all started, with a new listing in Westminster with some of my past clients, actually 14 yrs ago I sold their home and assisted them in buying this current property!!  We placed the home on the market in August, and after taking the appropriate adjustments, we were able to procure a buyer in early November. We are now under contract at $226,500. Of course, we need to procure a new home for my sellers so this transaction had to have a contingency built in!  Yeah, we were able to go under contract 2 weeks later and NOW, we are on our way to a closing around 12/27/12.  Under contract at $310,000!

The Lender Fun Now Begins!! 
My sellers are working all the necessary docs into the lender of their choice, and after about 2 days of reviewing the docs, again ... the lender has decided they made an error in income/debt ratios and the sellers can only qualify for $225,000 loan!!  YIKES!!  We just went under contract for a $310,000 property with 5% down!!

Yes, how in the world did we let this happen!!!  Someone did NOT review the credit report with the right kind of scrutiny as we come to expect from a LARGE Bank!!   This is just the start of a the strange process.... please continue to read in my other blog...

Dan, this can be a huge problem, and always have the sellers get pre-approved before they sell their primary residence.   This can and does end up being a can of worms.

Yep, Joan ... they WERE pre-approved, and this is the strange issue from the beginning after we went under contract!  Just makes me dislike Wells Fargo, even more these days!!

Hi Dan - very frustrating when buyers think they are pre-approved and then suddenly -- issue(s) arise.   I hope this works out well for everyone involved.

Holy crap, you certainly earned your commission on those two deals. Not to imply, of course that you aren't worth every penny the rest of the time. :)

Thanks Guys!!  One thing I have had to always get around is losing some of MY commission to make the deal work.  In these 2 transactions... it did cost me some funds... but we accomplished the deal this last Tuesday with flying colors for all parties involved!!  Some transactions are just plain GOOD, to get out of the way!!
