It can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to get the response from Countrywide. Be patient, and talk to your Realtor as often as you need to. Thanks.

Hi Tara,
All banks pretty much take their own time to get back to offers regardless of how motivated they may be. Remember, they have thousands of homes in foreclosure and short sale, and when you respond, you're in the que behind all the other offers. When your file pops up as the next to handle, that's when they get to it. It's frustrating I know, but having handled many I can tell you that's the way it works. Just be patient or cancel the offer and move on. Those are really your options.
Best regards,
Charlie

Tara, probably about 6 months. Just kidding (kind of.)

Seriously, they can be a bit difficult to work with. I tell my clients 2 weeks to 3 months. The listing agent (if they have worked with countrywide before) should be able to give you a rough estimate. Of course that is just an estimate. I hope it works out. Sometimes the wait can be well worth it! Good Luck!

not Countrywide, they work on their own terms
