[quote=tugg49]I’ve offered to buy her furniture as the story in case flags are raised…[/quote]
tugg, if you offered to “buy her furniture” (give her a check outside of escrow??), then why hasn’t she filled out any rental applications so she can vacate? Do you have a “side written agreement” to pay her this $$ upon COE? Is she afraid you won’t pay her for the furniture?
And since your seller is employed in a “professional” position, why is it that she “can’t afford to move?” This is a HUGE RED FLAG, IMHO. She must have creditors hounding her that you don’t know about and may even be considering filing for BK, if she hasn’t already SINCE you received your preliminary title report…

LOL, how many MONTHS AGO did you approve the PTR in this transaction??
edit: having a “Dual Agent” is part of the problem here, IMO…
