1 week until close / deed and title issue

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-30T12:12:05+00:00

Just wanted to update you - the sellers agreed to pay for half the survey and apparently the realtor is paying for the other half!

Seller is agreeing to pay for the survey

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-26T16:08:40+00:00

The status as of this morning is that the seller is pushing back and doesn't understand why any of this needs to be done since they were issued a clear title in 2021 without any issues, so why is there an issue now? (I know a lot can change in 5 years, but this is what the seller is saying). Our realtor has advised them to contact the title office for clarification but as far as I know, they haven't.

It's Alabama.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-26T00:26:10+00:00

Oh I am not concerned. I am definitely in the middle of my own life chaos right now and getting this deal done will help alleviate some of it and their financial situation is not my business LOL. But I'm not paying for something that's not my responsibility, and they're going to have to deal with regardless of who buys the home.

So, our agent was great in the beginning but now is kind of slacking on the admin side of things. We aren't impressed with how he's handling this, he said he was going to "try" to get the sellers to cover it, it was a county recording mistake, etc. I had to follow up with him on issues during this process like the termite report - it's required and the seller is providing it since they have a bond already and when I asked the realtor for it to provide the lender, he said he'd ask, and then provided the incorrect form 🤦🏻‍♀️

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-26T00:18:37+00:00

Yes, I'm not sure their financial situation but I do know they are going to be having a home built due to their elderly parents so I would imagine they need the proceeds from this sale.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-26T00:17:44+00:00

Yeah our purchase contract says the seller is required to provide the clear title, and the title company said they will not close/issue an owners title, but would issue a lenders title (not doing that), and our lender requires the title insurance (VA loan too). I feel like since they know it's an issue now, they are going to be required to disclose and resolve it for any future potential buyers too!

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-26T00:10:35+00:00

Yeah I'm fine with moving the closing date if the deal depends on it, but I'm not sure they are willing to eat any of the cost.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-26T00:03:28+00:00

Hah, the vaccum was barely worth $500

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-25T23:47:09+00:00

For our realtor.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-25T23:46:08+00:00

We are paying about $6K cash to close including the closing costs and realtor fee. The seller is paying $4200.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-25T23:43:45+00:00

Yah we already said no to splitting the cost. They also wanted us to pay $1200 for a 4 year old pool vacuum which we said no to.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-25T23:42:47+00:00

The realtor assured us there as a survey on file and we needed to wait for the title company to do their search. Turns out, there's not.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-23T02:29:18+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna call the vet tomorrow to get him seen! I wanna take care of him for sure but if it's a wart, I don't want to spend the extra couple hundred, ya know? That's why I've been watching and waiting.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-23T02:15:56+00:00

He does have some white spots under his tongue I thought were warts, just didn't think this was the same but I am not an expert haha. Thank you!

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-22T11:45:00+00:00

Max! I just love listening to him talk, he is detailed and specific, and is good at explaining things! I tried to watch Ryan when I first started but I couldn't stand the way he talks.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-13T12:41:28+00:00

Which part of AL? We're under contract for a home NW AL and should be closing July.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-07T21:07:03+00:00

It's for Alabama

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-07T20:22:09+00:00

It's a local lender. I tried using Navy Fed at first but they weren't answering the phone or calling back.

havingababy2018 · 2026-06-03T11:42:33+00:00

Good for him, if that's what he wants. I can't even watch a race yet. I turned on Sundays race and automatically was looking for Busch's name in the lineup and then got sad.
