Buyers did all they could to follow escrow schedule while selling agent did not perform as outlined in escrow schedule (selling agent/seller chose escrow company).Selling agent requested us to remove loan contingency, while buyers submitted a notice to perform to seller to deliver the all the signed lease agreements as well as a 1 week extension on closing date for loan (loan officer and buyer's agent have strong relationship and in my understanding, had to work really hard to get through all the hurdles so far).Can I get your thoughts on the situation, potential scenarios, and how the buyer can successfully purchase the home?
