Your agent is going to be more agressive with getting ahold of the attorney. Send letters, get and email address, phone calls, or go visit the attorney...something. At the same time, you can't be rude to these people because that never works.

Hi Michael,
Sad to say but, you are at the Jr. loans mercy. Have your agent contact the listing agent and have him follow up with the attorney and second mortgage on a daily basis, until they get in touch or get some kind of communication going.

Be strong and good luck,
