Because it was on the script that they read from.

They were just takin' a survey.

Because they don't RTDC....(Read_The_DARN_Contract)

Typical....good thing they didn't loose the contract...I've had that happen too. 

Because they are idiots that don't give a crap. 

that's typical.... 

Nathan Gesner Don't hold your breath, you haven't closed yet.

Very typical for an REO property.

Someone went on vacation. Happens all the time. The asset manager wanted it closed early (they get kudos) but the closing department wasn't listening.

BANK is a four letter word.

They never said THEY could close early.  LOL!  Just trying to string you on, they are.  Must be Chase or Wells Fargo making you Chase your tail.

Good question...

So typical and SOOO frustrating, Nathan Gesner! And, why would they put you at the end of their day - other than to make their final Closing 'easy' on THEM?!

I suspect that they were checking their options, or seeing how prepared you were.

In today's world where one does the work of many scheduling can be an issue at times. When options are available life becomes easier.

The same reason Wells Fargo thought their 'customer enrollment' plan was a good idea. 

The left hand and the right hand are not attached to the same body.

Besides, TOO BIG TO FAIL means they can do whatever they please.

No reason, just something to do when they have extra time.

Nobody ever knows why banks do what they do.  It's a mystery.  I hope all goes well with the scheduled closing! -Kasey

Ah the mysteries of real estate and the motivations of some

The actions of some asset managers are in the mystery category. Another chapter for your book.

Joe Pryor nailed this one!

Hi Nathan... I guess it's just one of those mysteries of life that keep life interesting!

That seems very silly to ask, yet you don't want/need an answer.

Got to love lenders. It is always 'mañana' with them

Good luck 

Nathan Gesner they are testing waters....

I am not fond on very many lenders.

Don't worry. Banks will never never replace us in our industry. Derpy goofs!

OMG...were you closing with a title company? That would never happen here..the title company would close when ever you are ready!

part of real estate

Nathan,

Because they can

Ha. I'd say because most banks have some pretty special folks working in these departments.  Bless their hearts.

I work with short sales, it is a story of my life, they ask ~ I rush with providing a response or documents( multiple times the same one) and after that.... we are waiting.... for a long time. 

       I had a sale fall through because the Seller and his agent insisted on "honoring" the closing date on the Contract, even though all the money was in place, and my Buyer was ready to close.     

    My Buyer saw another property that he wanted... I took him to my lawyer, who got him out of the contract with Seller #1.   Deposit refunded, contract cancelled.  We then wrote on the "new" property and closed on that. 

In Real Estate...anything goes until it went

Interesting what happens in your area.

To keep us on our toes 

Same here.  I think it is a verbal confirmation that the buyers are serious.
