With all of the news of Doom and Gloom around us, I wanted to take a moment and tell everyone that there are good things happening out there. It is so easy for people to complain. They are quick to tell you what you are doing wrong but not forthcoming to tell you when you are doing something right. So it is my turn to let the world know that there are people out there doing things right
A little background. I had a client that wanted to purchase a home using Down Payment Assistance. This meant that we were working with a deadline. Well, we found the perfect home. We put in the offer and waited for an answer. The listing agent for the REO property Bently Thomas understood that we were working with a deadline. Bently Thomas worked diligently to get the signed contract back to us ASAP. Bently Thomas was friendly and efficient he made sure the seller signed all the documents that we needed.
Well that was the beginning of our ordeal. The representative for the seller's attorney did not understand the urgency with this transaction. She was quick to tell us that she just got this file, and let us know that it would take at least 7-10 days before we could close. This would not work the lender gave us until September 19 to close this transaction. Cindy Nelson the loan officer already cleared all the conditions to the file and the package was at the attorney's office waiting for the closing. Well needless to say I was a little frazzled and not sure what to do. So, I called Richard Bradley with Devoe Law firm.( Devoe Law firm was handling the transaction for the buyer.) Richard Bradley with his can do attitude, decided that he would contact the seller's attorney and face the problem head on. Richard Bradley was able to overcome every obstacle placed before him and he did this while remaining positive and optimistic.
Well the bottom line is we were able meet the deadline and close this transaction. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to work with a team made up of Bently Thomas, Cindy Nelson, and Devoe Law frim. Because of them this transaction was able to close on time! This might not sound like a big deal to many but for my client it was a dream realized. My client is now a homeowner! The house that she drove by everyday for weeks, was now her home!
