Another Successful Christian County Mo Countrywide Short Sale Closed

Another Successful Christian County, Mo Short Sale Closed! 

If I told you last November it would take five months to close on your next Christian County Mo home, would you have waited that long to buy a house?Nixa Mo Short Sale

Not many people would.  But I had a great couple that fell in love with this beautiful home near the James River and along with their realtor, patiently waited while I worked through the process to obtain approval from the seller's bank to do a "short sale".

 The home badly needed a new roof and the buyers requested escrow funds to replace the roof.

Most banks are not willing to allow the escrow of funds, but at the request of the buyer's agent, I submitted the offer.  The buyers first offer was quickly rejected by Countrywide. 

After a few weeks of no additional offers, I called the buyer's agent back and asked if they were still interested.  They were and resubmitted the offer deleting the roof repair.

I'm sure many times all parties felt this was never going to happen, but everyone continued to work together to close.  Three weeks ago, we received loan approval from Countrywide (now Bank of America) to close on the property.

Of course, not without a glitch.......the buyers had to install a new roof prior to closing to meet their lenders guidelines.  The home was vandalized and two sets of French doors were taken.  I happen to have a set sitting in my garage which I was going to use in our old office (before we moved to the new office), so they received a brand new set.  The neighbors even mowed the yard for the new owners.

We closed today!  YAHOO!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!  WOO HOO!!!!!  I Love Selling "Short Sales".
