Patty Manzi’s Tri-Valley Real Estate Blog

Its January 12th and I’ve been checking the online site daily for new tasks and none have been issued.  I call the bank to get an update and am advised that all tasks are complete on my part but the (elusive & unamed) negotiator has an outstanding task that was due to be completed on January 9th.  This rep emails the negotiator while I am on the phone to request the task be completed so we can move on with the process.  The rep advises the task should be completed in the next day or so.  The rep also advises that with this online system the short-sale process takes no more than 45 days to close provided all parties submit their required tasks ON TIME.  So I guess that means we are already delayed 3 days since the negotiator is late with their assigned task. 

January 15th -The negotiator should have completed their assigned task by now so I call for an update. Oh huge surprise, the task is still incomplete.  The rep today tells me an email has already been sent, to the negotiator so we just have to wait.  The negotiator will get to it as soon as they can…………(heavy sigh).
