How to deal with an uncooperative Listing Agent?
I have a borrower (self-employed) who is purchasing a 640k property in Orlando area who has had to clear up unexpected conditions in order to obtain a loan commitment, but he has done what was needed and we're back on track.
However, we need a few days closing extension and the Listing Agent is difficult, likely because from what I hear, she has a buyer ready and she would get the entire 6% Points real estate commission.
I'm trying to be nice, but the listing agent and her title agent refuse to surrender the seller's contact info. I easily found the seller's cell numbers and emails online, so I think it may be time for me to simply Circumvent the Listing Agent and contact the sellers directly.
What issues might this cause and what could prevent a Mortgage Broker from Circumventing the Listing Agent in effort to deal directly with the sellers?
