Re: November and December Closers

Congrats TxNurse!  You might be the first closing in our thread this month:-).  It looks like your closing was amazingly fast.  Do you mind sharing who you used?  Might be helpful to someone...

Re: November and December Closers

We are closing on November 9th. We already received final commitment from our lender. We are in NJ, and due to hurricane sandy there were a number of properties damaged. 

 

How do we know if the house, which will be ours in a week, has not been impacted by the hurricane? Is the lender or the seller obligated to verify that the house is in the same shape as before the storm? From the outside, I see that there is a tree split right in the middle very close to the entrace, but doesn't look like fallen on the house yet. 

 

Thank you

Re: November and December Closers

I've read that lenders are doing re-appraisals before closing due to Sandy...just what I've read, don't know if that's fact; best to contact your LO.

I haven't heard of re-appraisals being done, but I guess that makes sense if the property has sustained damage.   I was supposed to close on my condo yesterday, but Tuesday night my LO called me and told me Ginnie Mae is ordering properties in my area (including mine) to be re-inspected prior to closing.  My re-inspection was completed today, which was a very quick turn around.  I'm hoping to get a(nother) clear to close Monday, and actually close on Tuesday.

 

Good luck to everyone else in this process!!!

Thank you for  the info. Who pays for the re-appraisals due to the storm - the borrower or the lender?  Not sure why the lender would pay, but as a borrower I don't want to pay either.  Isn't the seller supposed to certify that the house is  in the same condition as it was before the storm? 

 

We are closing on Nov 9th, and are concerned if anything major comes up in the walk-through before closing..
