Refer your question to your attorney--what was stipulated in the contract --Once in contract and the deal is accepted by the bank it's done--keep in mind you could stand to lose your deposit money.

Once your bid is accepted from the bank it will be complicated getting your money back from the bank. You would need a letter from your mortgage company stating that they rejected your loan in order to get your down payment back if you left a down payment. The bank cant audit you to close if your not ready, its up to your bank to close whether they have all the stipulations in order to get a closing date. The only problem is that if you dont mone in time, you might lose the rate that the bank gave you so you would need to get the documents in on time to get locked into the rate or you will lose that rate and might get a higher rate. If you decide not to take the propert, then you must get a letter of rejection from the bank that you were rejected from that loan.

Your best avenue is to to discuss this with your attorney first. The contract you signed dictates the calendar procedure of sale. As for the "gift" and the monies - also discuss this with your attorney ASAP.

Were any of these changes stated in the contract?

You're obligated to the terms of your contract regardless of what your realtor told you. If you want to extend the closing date, both your lender and your buyer would need to approve it.

If your realtor didn't get an extended closing date approved by all parties (and the lender) and was simply shooting from the hip, he/she has done you a tremendous disservice. Regardless, you must follow the terms of your contract as it is currently written or face the possibility of breaching the terms.

it is hard to tell what you are saying.

but the last part i understand. if you are selling your home and you have an approved sale by your bank(s) - you absolutely should move to close. FIND A PLACE to live - quick. and be done with it.

a business friend of mine has a great place in Huntington. NO COMMISSION for real estate - he's a friend of mine and his place is VERY nice.
