Buyer Wants to talk to seller...

I'll spare all the fine details, but, the overview info:

  1. Selling agent royally screwed the pooch with the listing, failing to get all appropriate docs over upon acceptance (bank is involved in the sale). Now 75+ days into the transaction and set to contractually close in ~10 days.
  2. Buyer is very sick. Completed their homesale and moved here. Displaced and living in tent for over a month at this point. They are unable to get the treatment they need without a permanent address and are growing desperate.
  3. Buyer has been advised to sue for specific performance if purchase isn't closed on date, but they don't really have the money for a lawyer, either. Every lawyer (and the Realtor legal hotline, themself) said it is "open and shut in the buyers favor for specific performance."

Now, the buyer keeps telling me they are going to go over to the selling brokerage to calmly ask what is going on and how we can close this thing. I have been having to tell them to absolutely not do this nearly daily. Buyer is now asking me to arrange a "meeting between the agents, brokers, and buying/selling parties" to cooly discuss things.
I have tried and tried to explain how this is firstly very unlikely as the selling agent wouldn't want the seller to "spill more beans" and further incriminate themselves, but also how it inevitably will devolve into chaos and make things worse.
My buyer is getting desperate at this point.

Just looking for other thoughts on how to explain to buyer?

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/
