You'd be surprised how quickly folks comply once they have a deadline set in front of them.  

A minor eventual lapse of a deadline or something but (1) it's better to know so you know what mistake to avoid in the future and (2) if everything you're saying is true, there appears to have been intention to deceive so all bets (for them) are off.

You should at least give them a deadline to get approved for a loan (say a month from now) or you are going to list it.

As far as property taxes you definitely earn a partial exemption BUT the deadline to file for this year is March 1 so don't mess around.

Even when they said no, I left the contract with them and told them it has a 24-hour deadline and let me know in case they change their mind... and they did!  

Once the appraisal comes in, which is always before the Loan Objection deadline, the Buyer has the right to terminate the contract based on the Loan Objection deadline, citing that "in the buyer's sole subjective discretion they cannot get a loan at terms that are satisfactory to them."

The property listing doesn't state any auction terms,deadlines for offer or anything of such. 

Throw in some damage, uncleanliness and a final utility bill that hasn't come through yet all in a 14-day deadline and that's a pain, too.  

With a tax lien you may have a deadline however.

However, FinCEN is moving toward reporting via the internet, and should have a web site set up by the August 13th (2012) deadline.
