Trying to manipulate the closing date?

[q4life]

What is the name of your state? NY

Right now we have pretty much done everything on our end and are waiting for the title search to be finished and the survey to be done to the house. My Atty called me a few days ago and tells me he's upset that my RE agent keeps calling him and asking him when exactly the survey will be done.She wants definite dates.He feels that he doesn't work for her and he shouldnt have to take the time to take, make calls or fax her any information. I agree. I trust my atty and so far he's told me that things are going smoothly and I beleive him. Anyway, we have 4/20 as a closing date. I think my RE agent and the Sellers agent want us to close sooner. I am upset that she calls me and my atty to press us about when things are getting done. She has been calling me every other day and says that she just want to be ahead of the other agent. whatever that means. I feel that she is pushing it. She has asked about every move i made from the beginning and even had my commitment faxed to her from my bank! Today I haven't taken her calls. I know that originally she wanted us to close this friday but that wasnt going to happen on either end. I'm not sure what to tell her, first because I am so upset about her behavior and secondly I'm not sure what to say when I do without getting upset. this process has sprouted more white hair on my head than I need and I am only 38.

You have an agent doing his/her job and you are mad?

How many time has she called the Atty wanting to know if the survey is done?

Many times the other side wants to know there WILL be a closing period and want a committment letter of some kind.

I'm not sure what to tell her, first because I am so upset about her behavior and secondly I'm not sure what to say when I do without getting upset.


Get a backbone and IF you consider her behavior unacceptable tell her that and tell him/her not to call you you will call him/her.

Wow, I agree with Pojo, you've got an agent who is doing her job - and YOUR upset.

You definitely wouldn't want me for your agent then. Do you realize that little things can slip through the cracks? Granted, I don't call my clients every other day, but do drop emails, etc., every 2-3 days. If I work for you, then I am going to do what is needed to make sure the transaction happens. I'm sorry you're feeling pressured. Talk to your agent and explain your feelings. Hopefully, then she'll ease up a little.

If it were me in your position, I'd want her hoovering over the deal until it was finalized.

Don't get me wrong, I did appreciate that she helped me find our home,and has given me alot of help and advice . What is upsetting are the phonecalls every other day directing me to tell my lawyer what he should do when he is already doing it. I can't make the process go any faster. I've assured her that things were going along smoothly. She did ask for a commitment letter and she got it. There will be a closing, we all know the date. I just found out today that the seller's agent called my atty. Now this is a bit much don't you think? My atty is furious.

Does your Atty not have a secretary that screens his calls?

Is he/she not use to handling business and calls that are "a bit much"? Heck if my Atty was "furious" over phone calls relating to my realestate transactions I'd get an new one.

RE's try to gain info in any way they can to try and find out if a close on the deal is going to go smoothly. While the agent may have been out of line (not even sure I agree on that) your Atty is a bit much.

Anyway what's the big deal the closing will be soon and you are finished with them all. So settle the nerves down and get ready to enjoy your new home.
