Remember, this is y...You're right on FHA deal. Remember, this is your federal government at it's best. In part, you're experiencing the hangover of the economic and subprime lending practices. You need a cash buyer, or a substantial bank customer. It will happen. As far as the showing the house goes, that's just what you have to put up with if you're the seller. Your house, Deb, is a cutey, and will sell. The average market days for a sale is 60-90 days. You had a bunch of 'hits' right out of the chute. Based on that initial general interest in your property you shouldn't have to wait long. It might be prudent to inform your realtor to note a disclaimer on the listing agreement regarding the roof if your insurance company doesn't come through. Non-disclosure could come back and bite you in the butt. It might also be prudent to ask your realtor if you can hire a separate inspector to give you some advice..maybe $100 gratuity. Sometimes these inspectors, not unlike insurance claims guys, (be careful) are on the take, or have a lender/inspector connection. Bottom line, banks are real punchy these days. If a loan goes south, they, at least, want to know the property they might have to foreclose on is marketable. Good luck, kiddo. Sort of makes you want to pitch a tent on an acre of land to get away from it all, huh? ha ha Your experience is exactly why I'll never sell my house. It's paid for. A final alternative is to sell your house on a contract for deed, that process takes the inspection process out of the mix as well as the punchy banker.

State Farm is going to inspect the roof in a few days so we'll see how that goes. I think I'd rather have bamboo shoots stuck up my fingernails than go through this.<br /><br />Barry - Un dia, mi amigo...Isla Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418290496593796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-73468181321310871502009-06-12T08:26:29.550-05:002009-06-12T08:26:29.550-05:00Jeez, Deb!

I've known some inspectors who had a conflict of interest because they also had their own repair company. I had that happen on one house we sold. The guy gave us a bid on how much he'd charge to do the repairs. I found someone else to do the big stuff for much less and the petty stuff was ignored. Most of our moves were corporate moves and they made buyers sign an 'as is' form. I don't even know if that would 'fly' anymore. We were so lucky on our last house when the buyers waived all the inspections.<br /><br />Keep the faith!Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-62156691479542409322009-06-11T21:00:25.582-05:002009-06-11T21:00:25.582-05:00Hola mi Amiga , Pienso que hay solamente una cosa ...Hola mi Amiga , Pienso que hay solamente una cosa a decir "No deje el desgaste hibrido usted abajo.....Que las brisas caliente de Mexico estan llamando",,,,,,,,,barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577861438339947246noreply@blogger.com
