Closing delays due to title company?

My wife and I are buying a home cash. I assumed that would make it a relatively straightforward closing. The house is a fixer upper so we got an inspection mostly for our own information and the contingency period closed on 8/17 with no issues. We were set to close 8/31 and haven’t heard anything from the realtor in a week or so so we called her Tuesday. She said they’re just waiting on the title company. They told her last week they would have the information to us by today. Well today has come and gone and nothing. We tried calling the title company directly and couldn’t get ahold of anyone.

The realtor said not to worry and we will just have to close late. Is there a chance the seller could back out? I’m a bundle of nerves worried there’s something wrong with the title or that the seller is going to want to back out for some reason.

We aren’t doing anything with the house immediately so it’s not a big deal otherwise but is it normal for closing to be delayed with little communication from the title company? Is there anything we should be doing besides just waiting?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
