My sale is getting sketchy – BofA shenanigans – advice needed!

Just an idea… you could charge them a large deposit – say a few months’ rent – that they would get back on a pro-rated basis once the sale closed. That might mitigate some – but not all – of the hassle in case the funding disappears.

Why doesn’t the buyer just put their stuff into storage and rent a suite at one of those corporate rental places?
To me, that seems like a lot of risk for you if the deal falls through, I’d want it sealed before people start moving in, maybe I’m just being paranoid?

Sounds like you have a good buyer acting in good faith and you likely would be best served to let them get a new loan. Under no circumstances would I allow them to move in prior to the close of escrow. Too much can go wrong.

I agree with sdrealtor – bird in the hand with the current buyer, I would work with them on extending the escrow front BUT politely explain that you cannot enter into a short term rental that it is too fraught with potential conflict/issues.

Do you have the right to any involvement, verification from their lender/broker? I would extend escrow but with some “check points” to make sure things keep moving along.

ALSO – what is your living situation? If you have not moved out of the house and are going to have double rent anyhow – I would consider staying and/or leaving sufficient furnishings in case you DO need to go back on the market. Furnished homes show so much better.
