1. Petit Home Team NEWS






















Say hello to the 2016 Mooresville Red Sox softball team. We finished the season with an 8-2 record, coming in second place for the 8U division.  There were 5 girls that returned from last years squad and the their softball skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Dad and I truly love getting to coach Madi and the other girls on this team. There is something special about this group of ballplayers!The playoffs have begun and we have high hopes for all the girls. Stay tuned for the end of year results!

2. Top Reasons Why A Real Estate Closing Is Delayed
Whether you’re currently buying or selling a home or you’re planning on buying or selling a home in the future, it’s important that you understand that there can be delays in a real estate closing.  A real estate contract and the terms and conditions that are set forth in a contract do carry significant importance, however, they are not always concrete.
Unrealistic Contract Dates
Whether you’re a buyer or seller, it’s imperative that you have a top real estate agent representing your interests.  One of the most common reasons why a real estate closing is delayed is because of unrealistic contract dates that were agreed upon in the purchase offer.  An experienced real estate agent knows how to appropriately structure the dates in a purchase offer.
Generally speaking, it will take roughly 45-60 days for a real estate closing to occur after a purchase offer is accepted.  This of course depends on the type of financing a buyer is using to purchase the home, the number of contingencies in the purchase offer, and many other variables. 
Real Estate Appraisal Issues
When buying or selling real estate you need to understand that a large piece to a successful home sale is the bank appraisal.  A bank appraisal is part of a real estate transaction anytime a buyer is obtaining a mortgage.  
Problems with a bank appraisal are a very common reason why a real estate closing can be delayed.  The reasons issues that arise from a bank appraisal can delay a closing can vary from a home that under appraises and the buyer and seller cannot come to new terms or because of repairs that are required by the appraiser.
Title Related Issues
Important reasons why it’s suggested both a buyer and seller hire an attorney is because they will help ensure “clean title” is being transferred.
It can be extremely frustrating for a buyer who is attempting to sell a home in the future only to find out there were previous liens against their home that were not discovered when they purchased the home.  A home without clean title is virtually unsalable.
There are certain title related problems which actually arise frequently.  Most of the common title related problems can be solved, but take significant time and will likely delay the closing or possibly cancelled.
Instrument Survey Related Issues
Another task that a real estate attorney will perform is a review of an instrument survey.  An instrument survey in real estate can be defined simply as a drawing of the land a home is situated on.  Real estate closings can be delayed in the event there is a discrepancy in the instrument survey.
One of the most common discrepancies in instrument surveys in real estate are boundary line encroachments or disputes.  An example of a boundary line encroachment could include a neighbors fencing being on the property of the home that is being sold or vise versa.
Lender Requires Additional Documents
When a buyer receives their mortgage commitment, it means the funds have been approved and the closing can occur, right?  In most cases it does mean the funds have been approved, however, there are times when a lender will require additional documents at the last minute.
Even if a buyer is pre-approved, then receives their mortgage commitment, and is cleared to close, lenders are going to at the very least review their credit and bank statements one final time within a few days of closing.
Reviewing the credit and bank statements are not the reason real estate closings are delayed but the additional documents a lender may require after reviewing them is a reason that closings are delayed.
Agreed Upon Repairs Are Not Completed
There are tons of reasons why home buyers have home inspections.  The primary reason why home buyers have a home inspection is to ensure the home they are purchasing doesn’t have any major deficiencies that can cost tons of money in the future.
After a home inspection is completed, the buyer has the opportunity to request repairs be completed or some type of seller concession, in lieu of the repairs.  If a seller agrees to make repairs, it’s important that these repairs are done once a buyer receives their mortgage commitment.
