How long to close in Monroe County on Foreclosure/Referee?
I have a contract to buy a SFH in Irondequoit. My lawyer tells me all the paperwork has been submitted to the "Referee" and we are just waiting for a closing date from them. From what I understand the "referee" is just the lawyer for the county. This property was purchased at a auction at the courthouse steps. Its funny because the contract clearly states "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE" twice, indicating they want to get this done ASAP.
Has anyone else purchased this type of property and has experience in how long it might take to close?
Thanks,
JD
