When I represent the seller, my job as their listing agent, is to follow up on all aspects of the transaction. In the meantime; I love a paper trail – I am trying to get the status of the buyer's loan - my client, the seller would like to start packing, etc.

I did happen to “catch” MC, Loan Processor/Underwriter. She is both processor and underwriter.  She thinks she has everything; she needs time to put the file together – she said maybe next week..  She was panting on the phone, she sounds extremely overworked. I had the feeling that had I not called her, she wouldn’t have known that everything was in the file.  I reminded her of our closing date.

Maybe next Monday afternoon, you can hunt her down & prod her again & ask about the termite tent, etc. thanks

Hi Phyllis,
I’ll keep calling her – she told the buyer yesterday that she was unable to return his calls as her phone was broken?!?!
The buyer went to see her yesterday in person and went over the file with her and confirmed he had provided her with all the conditions required.
I will follow up and will get info. about the termite.
Thanks,
Kristen

The more back logged the lenders become the more Escrow & the Realtors need to coordinate to keep the transaction progressing.   As both buyer and seller would like to coordianate a move (moving vans etc, need to be scheduled) identifying an accurate closing date is a must.
