SoCal Escrow Taking Too Long; Have to pay BOTH mortgage and rent

So this is from my mom, and she's dismayed because escrow is taking too long. She settled on a buyer by beginning of March. The real estate agent (who represents us AND the buyer) highly advised us to move out before April because my late dad's bankruptcy (which we kept paying after his passing) will surely be dismissed by the court soon as requested, and told us the buyer was 'a little annoyed' that we were still in our house.

We got the dismissal letter around the target date (2nd week of April), but Escrow is taking long because semantics about needing the court to 'CLOSE' the case when they initially asked and used the term 'DISMISSAL'.

We got a small place to rent in this crazy overpriced market by the 24th of March, took the L on paying both the mortgage+HOA+Homeowner's insurance and the rent for April. Coming up to May now, and there's been no email or call from escrow despite my mom trying to communicate with them. The real estate agent is trying not to make it a big deal by saying 'You'll get the proceeds/money in your account anyway once it's all done', like paying 5k per month without any proceeds and losing 6k for a place you don't inhabit isn't a big deal.

Any advice for my mom? Would appreciate it. She's overwhelmed, and my dad's usually the legal/document oriented person in the house, but he passed in 2020, and we really just wanted to move on, but it's not going well.

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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
