Chase Freddie Approvals

Posted by Christina Lindsay on July 1, 2013 at 4:56am in Short Sale Discussions

Good morning, I am involved in a transaction where I am only the 3rd party negotiator.  The contract in which I got both approvals on was an all cash offer with no contingencies.  I am in CA.  The buyer proceeded to breach the contract, taking over 2 weeks to get the EMD in escrow.  Now on the day we are to close escrow, the buyer disclosed he needs to close another transaction to fund my sale.  This was not in the contract.  Is my contract and approvals still valid with this recent contingency and am I in harms way with any parties due to this last minute change?  Thank you for your input.

    Christina, the buyer will be in default. But, at this point why not try to get an extension? And this isn't a contingency, simply Buyer's inability to close, provided the approval deadline is beyond the date to close, called for in the purchase contract(ie. 30 days after approval, and the approval was obtained within the contract time limits).

      The transaction has been over 60 days and I really want to wash my hands.  I have told the listing agent that if the buyer does not close by the approval expiration date, I am declining the file and she can find a new negotiator.  The listing agent is as much to blame as the buyers agent.  Too much dishonesty and my pay is so minimal that my time would be more valuable put to transactions I know will close.  Thank you for your input though.  I just do not want my license to be in jeopardy with transactions like these.

          CA and a regular salesperson license.  The only reason I gave her a deal is that my broker is her husband.  She and the escrow co. have no idea on how to do a short sale.  I will be leaving him as well.  No matter people who do not understand the work involved for a small amount of money.
