Escrow Closes Next Wednesday!

[Deleted member 12723]

Well the park owner did not fax the form today. Tomorrow my agent will come to pick me up and take me to the Escrow office to sign the forms. If and it is a huge if, it closes I will ask her to take me to the electric company to shut off the power to the mobile home. I had to dig out one of my husbands death certificates as proof that he died as his name is still on the bill.

I have so much I have to do. My agent will take me out to breakfast tomorrow after we leave the office.

She has been a gem to me. She is also a very good friend I have known for many years.

I am so sick and tired of being put off. Trying not to play the victim and blame people. So frustrated and angry.

Good luck. They sure like to drag it out don't they?!

Are the park owners trying to "double dip?" get you to pay AND the new people? Does the lease there require you to keep electric on? If not, turn it off. In fact, turn it off in any case ASAP. THEY are keeping you from not owning it, so it is on them. If they want the electric on, let them get the papers to you and start dealing with the new owner.

Yes it is being dragged out so slowly. They buyers agent has not yet turned in the escrow paperwork from the buyer and the buyers trustee paid in a cashiers check which takes twenty four hours to clear so it is looking like it may or may not be on Tuesday. My stress cup is full and I am going to have to find some things to do to help me allieviate some of the stress building up.

Trying really hard not to play the victim and blame others.

Eleanor I cannot cut off the electricity until Escrow closes. My agent told me not to pay the space rent. It is pretty shady. I have until the fourteenth of next month before it comes due. Surely Escrow will be closed by then.

I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place.

I am going to the escrow office and then out to lunch with a friend afterwards. We will talk and laugh and mabe even make fun of the people who are not doing their jobs.

Thank God for my I Pad. And my family.

My agent just called me and said the Trustee did a wire transfer into the bank, and the funds are there now. All he has to do is turn in the last of the escrow papers and escrow will close. I just feel relief because there is only one more thing to do before it closes and I am free at last. Trying not to dwell on the negative aspects of all this delay, delay, delay. I have never experienced so many problems with an escrow before.

It sure has tried me and tested me. My agent will call me when escrow finally closes. I am hoping it is this week. But I will not hold my breath.

Thanks to all of you for your support going through this. I really appreciate it so much.

Hang in there @gizmo. Escrows have gotten outrageously problematic. The real estate bubble brought a lot of people into real estate who really shouldn't be there, and lowered everyone's standards and expectations. I'm hoping the profession comes back.

You'll get there...

Thank you so much for the explanation of the problems in my escrow Eleanor. I really appreciate it so much. Thank you. I just hope it closes before I have to pay the space rent on the fourteenth.

Escrow closed today. I am so happy. I am free of that place forever. I will pick up the check tomorrow. I am so very happy about this because I was not expecting it. Now I do not have to pay the space rent for this month which is five hundred dollars. What a huge, fantastic relief. I am free at last.

I am sure the buyer is very happy too as she has been living out of boxes since the sixteenth of August.

Never again do I have to go back there. I am so elated. We are celebrating around here. I am so free of it. No more bad memories or delays or any of it.

It is finally all over at last. I am so very happy.
