Should I get my Real Estate License?

[Kel S]

I mean it feels like I'm doing the leg work anyway half the time :wink: On our first deal we are in the middle of now it's been one hurdle after another. We are at the point of waiting to close but were told by the closing coordinator that they have to wait for the sheriff deed to arrive before we can close.

Since I had no idea how long that could take and my realtor said it's simply a waiting game I decided to call the county office and see what I can find out. Turns out that the bank was contacted back in September that the deed was ready and they needed to pay $1900 and some change before it could be released. I have a feeling that the closing coordinator may not know that it's not been paid for yet by this bank.

Of course I can't contact the bank directly and neither can my agent. So we have to wait on the other realestate agent to contact them. He is not easy to communicate with and none of us have even heard his voice. He only communicates via e-mail and at times is quite slow to respond. It's frustrating to say the least and makes me feel like I could of gotten this stuff done in less time if I could of did it myself! I'm sure some of you have felt the same at some point.

*sigh*

Hopefully the bank will get word quickly that they need to pay for that so the deed will be released by the sheriff's office and we can move forward to closing.

I have been seriously considering getting my Real Estate License or Brokers at some point. Just so I can bypass maybe some of this frustration on any future real estate purchases we make.
