"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp

 Ahhh, the Ides of March.? An old, blind soothsayer once told me to beware the Ides of March and today I was figuratively stabbed in the back.? We were to close today on a lovely home I have listed.? The seller had her car all packed, her niece was here from Denver to help her, and they were to set off on a cross country drive right after the closing.
All the arrangements were made.? The buyers had their final walk through a couple days ago and even sat down with the seller and discussed the history of the home and the surrounding blocks.? Then, this morning, I get a call from the title company asking if I knew the closing was off.
Uhm, no.?
The buyers had a problem satisfying one last contingency.? They had known about it all along and presumably thought the matter was closed.? ? Wells Fargo said otherwise and though it was now all good, it’d be another four days, best case scenario I’m told, for them to turn it around and get their final documentation to the title company. While the selling/buying transaction must follow many Federal and State laws, it’s always Murphy’s law that gets you in the end. |
