Hi everyone - Thank you so much for all of the wonderful responses. Posting my problem prompted the question, do you have the release! I had every other piece of paper, but it never dawned on me that I did not have a copy of the release. I asked for one and when I received it...I realized what the problem was. My home address had been written improperly on the release. Hence, the check was mailed to an address that doesn't exist.
I do not understand why it took corporate three weeks to get back to my realtor as to when they mailed the check to me...this information final came to me the day after I posted to you all...and the same date that I found out my address was incorrectly noted.
Regardless, all of your wonderful advice put me on the right track and I wish I had posted earlier. I am happy to report that I received my escrow money a few weeks after I posted!
Thanks! Michelle - Fri Dec 14 2007, 09:57
Yes I signed a release, though I realize I do not have a copy of it, though I have the entire e-mail chain of the last two months that tells me when the the other sellers signed the release. I was told it is "policy" that corporate does not return checks for 30-45 days. I was then told last week that my money would be arriving any day. My real estate agent is new and spoke to her manager last week about this...which brough about the "you will receive your money any day" response. I'm totally frustrated and not sure what to do. - Tue Oct 16 2007, 11:14
