As a Mortgage Lender, that's simple; . . . . . 

                          WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG ?

The subject is immaterial.   Whether it's the appraisal, setting the closing, getting a clear to close, getting funds from a refi (three day right of recission hold); it doesn't matter.   The question remains the same !

Wish HOME BUYERS would not ask..

"Why are they moving?"

I want to respond, 'Why are YOU moving?" but  must say, "I do not think the owner would feel sharing that information, honestly, would be in their best interests."

"What do you mean?"

"If you knew a balloon payment was due next month, would you not be encouraged to really play hardball? Of course. As you can see, asking for such information invites misdirection."

The obvious has to do with commissions but also I hated when they asked me to spend money to advertise in the big cities papers and magazines.  I never did because I convinced them otherwise.  

Oops... guess I misread the question.
