Proof of funds for cash offer

Our agent presented us with a full price cash offer with a quick close. In the deposit section, contract stated buyer would deposit full purchase price as the deposit, wired to the escrow agent within 3 days. On day three, no funds. Escrow agent told us the seller’s agent said there was a problem with the wire and that it was forthcoming. Our real estate agent also reassured us. We waited. Meanwhile, our house is off the market. Four days passed, and we finally demanded an explanation. We asked our agent what proof of funds she had received from sellers agent. She said she was given verbal assurance that they had the full amount and got confirmation from their banks only that they are an account holders because of privacy laws. They did not pursue it. Our agent told us none of this. The escrow agent also told us that, according to the buyers, obtaining the wire from their account at Schwab was delayed because of a nationwide hack. I have three Schwab accounts and received no such notice. My account is accessible. We demanded that our agent put the house back on the market but she insisted on saying it is still under contract and accepting backup offers. Was it unreasonable for us to anssume she had received proof of funds? We bought a condo cash and had to provide bank statements. We’ve now been off the market for over a week. I am beyond pissed and want to fire the agent but I don’t want to start over. I don’t understand what’s in it for the buyer. They paid for inspection and it passed so they can’t invoke that provision. According to the contract, we could sue them for the deposit but we just want to sell and move on.

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/
