A good broker can communicate between multiple lenders and often times has established relationships within the C-suite levels of multiple lenders that they can make calls on your behalf to "shake some trees" and get things processed not just in a timely manner, but in a manner that is on time based on what you are trying to do.Unfortunately it is not uncommon per se, but knowing where these hang-ups tend to happen and how to time everything based on lenders timelines and processes is where it can be helpful to have 'go to' lenders that you are familiar with, and they are familiar with you to help get things done.Good luck though, happy to help where/if I can.

They can give you insights and help you avoid potential pitfalls.
