Another Closing - This One Was An REO

Barbara-Jo's  Beach Blog  - Clearwater   Florida Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Clearwater, FL

There was another closing and this one was an REO. As with most of the properties that banks own, the closing turned into a bit of a nightmare. There was a bond involved, two packages to be signed at the closing table and a courtesy closing at Integrity Title since the title company the bank chose was up in Destin. You get the idea, enough bumps in the road to get everyone involved exasperated!

So here I am with my client who has only been in the country for 3 years and recently became a citizen, and Barbara Brownell from Integrity Title in Clearwater. At this point we ware all pleased that the signing was over......but it took several more hours before the paperwork that I had scanned and sent on to Bank of America (who did the mortgage and bond work for this closing) had approved everything AND the title company in Destin got final seller signatures on everything AND sent it over to BOA so they would call me to give me the ok to release the key to the new homeowners! (how was that for a long run-on sentence?)

In the end we were all really happy since Gazmend, his wife and little son are now homeowners in Clearwater! The perfect ending for a really great couple of kids and their little son!
