NJHMFA- What's the hold up??

[Nelly R.]

I put an offer in on a foreclosed home over 3 weeks ago and it was accepted. I signed the contract, provided by the seller's agent, shortly afterwards and submitted a good faith deposit. It's been 3 weeks and I STILL haven't received the signed contract back! I know dealing with state agencies can be challenging at times but.....what's the hold up?! Is this turnaround time normal? Has anyone dealt with NJ Housing Mortgage and Finance and been through a similar situation? I really want the house so I've been patiently waiting; however, I'm over it at this point and ready to move on. Not a positive example for purchasing my 1st investment property!
