Last week, we got an update. Our offer had made it through the "automated process" at the seller's bank, and will *fingers crossed* be put in front of a real person this week.
A real person! A living, breathing human being that will look over our proposal and give us a yes, or negotiate on the bank's behalf.
From there, we could close really fast, or not. Our realtor said that the paperwork states a May 30 closing, and we'll have a month overlap before vacating our apartment.
"The Chase short sale negotiator received the completed addendum today. Yes everything moves at a snails pace in the short sale world. We'll follow up again this afternoon. Everything Chase needs is there so that was supposedly the last hurdle. A little more patience and I believe we're at the end. Hang in there!"
Hi Troy and Patti,
A midweek checkin. I've followed up a couple of times this week and no new information. I'll keep you posted, just want you to know you're not forgotten just stuck in short sale purgatory.
Thanks!
Matt
No, there have been no felonies or misdemeanors in this house hunting journey. The crime I'm referring to is not writing.
I really wish I could keep up to speed with this blog, but unfortunately…nothing has happened.
This Friday will be four weeks since we put in our offer. That's four weeks of waiting and waiting for the seller's bank to just tell us yes or no.
We've heard two pieces of advice that are keeping me from losing hope. A co-worker of mine said that she waited a full month for approval on her house.
Also, Troy's co-worker said that banks are usually very quick to say no. Since we haven't gotten a no, that's a possible future yes.
Any suggestions for waiting for the shoe to drop?
