Do you think we can paint and carpet the new house if the sellers are moved out already? We took vacation to do that stuff the 2nd week in June and might not close til the end of June. Should I ask the Real Estate woman or is that a silly idea? Otherwise we will cancel our vacation week and not be able to take another week til after July. Have you ever heard of anyone doing this?

Its doable... but not recommended. What if the closing falls through... that money is wasted.

You're right I guess. I just didn't want to sound silly asking to do that.

There are also other issues... like gaining access to the house. You need a copy of the keys.
I did this once in my first purchase. I didn't have any issues... but I also had a very good relationship with my seller. It was a FSBO and was just a 1br co-op.

Plus, I think you made need home insurance. If the house isn't yours legally, you may not be able to get home insurance.
But I am not sure, ask your realitor.

Thanks for the responses but it seems too complicated. I'll just wait til we close. Thanks though.

I am so sorry that your closing date is delay, will you still make it to closing before you lose your rate?

I'm not sure Jamie. We are hoping. If its after our rate is up we can pay a fee to extend the rate 2 more weeks buts its $600.

$600 that is ridiculous. This is the homeowners fault. I wish that you could make them pay the $600. I am so sorry Karissa

It is possible that you can make them pay that if they are holding up the closing. Especially if its due to negligence. Talk to your lawyer.

The closing can be 30 days after the date on the contract...it is June 1st. We can close anytime til June 30th. I will ask the lawyer about them paying though.

Oh well if you actually put the date of your contract the same day as your rate lock.. then it will be difficult to get them to pay for anything before 30 days after.
Doesn't hurt to ask though.

My rate is good til the 18th, not the 1st but we still might not close by then. I didn't make the rate the same day as the contract date. That would be silly. Thanks though.
