Settlement day is when all your dreams olf owning a home come to pass. That is when the transfer of the deed to your home takes place. In Delaware, we do that thru the buyer's attorney. Your mortgage documents are signed., deed is signed and keys pass the table from seller to buyer. Can it be extended? In many cases it can but it has to be for good reason. Example, mortgage documents are not completed. Remember though you are in a contract and therefore all parties need to act in good faith and practice due diligence. Pushy to sell? Not sure what you mean by that one. Sellers are selling and buyers are buying. Reasonable dates and time framesmust be kept so life can go on. Hope this helps. Always feel free to visit our website or contact me for more questions or info. Good Luck in your endeavors. - Mon Oct 12 2009, 05:14
