Yesterday, a panicked real estate agent called my office from Portage. Their buyer had been under contract for three weeks on a home near Milwood. The closing date sat just nine days away.
Out of nowhere, the buyer’s out-of-state call-center lender issued a denial letter. The call-center underwriter miscalculated self-employment write-offs, panicked over an unpermitted porch repair on the appraisal, and threw the entire transaction into the trash can.
