10 Reasons a Real Estate Closing Can Fall Apart

10 Reasons a Real Estate Closing Can Fall Apart

As we assist over 100 families a year in buying or selling real estate, members of the Grove Team see closing delayed more often than we would like.  Why?  These are the top ten reasons:
The buyer or seller encounters a serious life change such as  a job loss, illness, or divorce.

1. The buyer makes a last-minute major purchase--such as furniture for the new home--and no longer qualifies for a loan.
2. The appraised value of the property is less than the purchase price. 
3. The buyer does not deliver information as requested by the lender, and the file cannot move forward in the process.
4. At the last minute the title company finds a lien on the title, and the seller must clear the lien before the sale.
5. The lender misinforms the agents and their clients as to the true status of the file, and the closing is delayed while the lender completes their processes.
6. Unknown defects are discovered in the property.
7. The agent for the other side goes on vacation and does not leave anyone to handle the file.
8. The lender's underwriter requires additional documentation.
9. The lender requires a last minutes re-appraisal.
