Can I set closing date for 6 months out?
Hi! Is this possible? I found the perfect house where I will be relocating in June, but can't cover 2 mortgages. I could probably sell my current house within a couple days, but I don't want to move until I absolutely have to. Thanks!

Settlement periods are always negotiable. You tend to see shorter settlement periods in residential transactions and the longest in land transactions where entitlements contingencies are customarily found. The particular circumstances will dictate what is appropriate and acceptable.
