Hi,

 I am a first time buyer. We submitted our offer in Mid June, 2011, and seller recently got BOA HAFA (just one loan) approval; however,we are still waiting for the HSBC (Investor Bank) authorization. Listing agent saying it will be any day.

Our agent said that listing agent constantly talking with BOA but no access to HSBC. But BOA assured him that HSBC agreed on the price we offered. HSBC will approve it any time and BOA will send the apprvoal letter.Our File moved to HSBC from BOA  end of August. We are offering cash. Do you think is it possible to get assurance on price before approval? Can you tell how long it might take?

Thanks in advance.
