I am the purchaser of a short sale in Oregon. BOA received our offer that the seller accepted on 4/8/09. The seller has since submitted their financial information 5 times........Our offer is in line with BOA's appraisal that was done in early June. Our appraisal was done 5/27/09. The listing agent has been diligent about contacting BOA and has now been told a "negotiator" has been assigned...........this was in July. We have now issued a deadline of 8/27/09, as this is the date our appraisal expires - still no action. The bank's appraisal will expire about a week later. Very frustrating...........we are relocating to the area, have a child in school...........the list goes on. I believe that BOA is behaving in a FRAUDULENT manner. What are they waiting for?? What a waste, and empty house - for a year. I have been hauling water to maintain some of the nicer plants that would be expensive to replace............I'm sure to no avail at this point. - Wed Aug 12 2009, 10:07
