I have been using Fidelity National Home Warranty for my personal and rental properties for the past three years and can tell you that I never had any issues with them.

So, if the bank (Huntington National Bank) would be willing to accept the most recent offer to buy (which is 8k more than any other offer I've received in the last couple of months), do you think that they would be willing to extend the loan for me in more manageable terms than what I suspect may be offered -continue paying the current mortgage and than pay the remaining balance in July? 

$@#$#@Obviously a morbid sense of humor but I still think I can find a way for this women to benefit from making a deal with me this year.
