I simply wanted to know if that is compliant with CA's RE bureau, for future reference.Last message (txt) was from listing broker/dual agent that that Escrow was opened, and so I dropped off the 10K check to the Escrow company indicated in CAR form's Joint Escrow Instructions, which shares same exact address as Listing Broker, just a different suite letter, ie B in of A, and haven't heard back from dual agent since, but assume once contract is executed, brokers move onto their next deals and become 'scarce'.Anyways I had asked for 4wks close then 3wks close but broker kept 2wks close on the offer as its cash so let's see if we actually do close on their preferred timeframe of 2wks which would be 2nd week of Nov; there are NO contingencies other than Title clearing so I see no reason why the heck not, yet remains to be seen!
