judgement (2)

I listed a short sale with 2 loans serviced by Chase. CLTV is LESS that 50% of market value. Submitted a CASH buyer and assigned a negotiator in less than 3 weeks. Today, he is submitting my package to the investor. 

We'll see...NOD in May 2012 but nothing posted in public record. Negotiating to include payoff to release an abstract of judgement from a deceased husband over a year ago. 

Scheduled to close AUGUST 30.

No one ever saw it coming!

The Sellers were moot until Escrow/Title discovered a NEW LIEN!!!

"Picture it" Sophia Petrillo, a Golden Girl would say,

except instead of Sicily 1922 - it was San Francisco 2012

- There was pepperoni all over the place! -

You wouldn't have believed it! 

The preliminary title report showed three liens and we jumped over all three hurdles - only to trip a few paces before finishing and closing our latest San Francisco North Panhandle Multi-Unit Short Sale listing this year... (Ask and we'll give you the address - multiple offers no less!)

Like a mine under water, this lien NEVER appeared on the preliminary title or the subsequent preliminary title report issued for the buyer - but lo and behold - the SELLERS went into the title/escrow company to sign final documents and after running their Social Security Number it came up!!! I am always polite to my escrow officers, but even this one taxed little old me! 

It was scramble time as the lien for $4,200 came up, the attorney whose name it was filed under was difficult to find and the entire bill had to either be negotiated or paid before closing in 3 days. Thank goodness we had cooperative sellers who could find some cash! - Guido - I don't know where it came from, on with the story!

Another 11th hour and 55th minute story which gave yours truly a few more grey hairs.

In the end, we received a wonderful commendation from our SELLERS For our professionalism and attentiveness to detail... All I can say is; Thank goodness it's DONE!

Lately it's been raining cats and pepperoni in San Francisco these days, but then it's not Sicily, 1922.
