Supposed to close on July 2, but closing disclosure was sent incomplete with drastic changes

Hi everyone! I’m just looking to see if this experience is normal or not. The brief back story is that my husband and I are purchasing our first home from a friend of a family member. There are no REs involved in the transaction. Both parties have RE attorneys. We have been having some issues with our loan officer at the bank, who has sourced our mortgage out to Caliber Home Loans. Our issues are mainly that the loan officer is not very timely with his responses to our emails or submitting/sending documents. We contacted his supervisor and it seems to have improved until this point.

We are scheduled to close this Tuesday at 4 pm. Today, our attorney called us and asked if we had any other contact information for someone either at the bank or Caliber. They received our closing disclosure, and several items were not filled out or filled out incorrectly. One of the most glaring items, at least to me, was that our cash to close changed by almost $2000 from the estimated cash to close they sent us just yesterday. The $2000 was taken from our seller’s assist but there isn’t an explanation as to why the seller’s assist has decreased by so much.

Our attorney tried to contact them multiple times today but didn’t get a response from anyone at Caliber, and the bank keeps saying they have nothing to do with it.

Is this a normal thing? Our attorney unfortunately had left for the weekend by the time I had the chance to listen to the voicemail. Is this something that will push back our closing? We are feeling very frustrated, as our contract has already been extended twice because of deadlines not being met by the bank.

I know that this should have been a red flag in the beginning but this bank was recommended to us by several friends and family members and was recently voted Best Mortgage Lender in our area. We are inexperienced and didn’t realize that our experience wasn’t normal until it seemed to be too late. We could have withdrawn our application, but we were afraid to delay our home purchase any longer. Any advice or anecdotes would be appreciated!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
