...lien? We are the buyers in a short sale. The sellers agent said the bank wanted $15k more than our offer. The sellers said they would pay $12K if we would pay $3k, in order to close before the end of 2010. We agreed and went through the loan process again since our bank couldn't close in the sellers time frame. The closing date was changed 4 times because the sellers wouldn't leave. We finally signed all of the closing papers. We've been told we cannot move into this house due to a lien. the lien is with the same bank as the original mortgage. It is not attached to the property and did not show up during the title search. The paperwork is off by $3000. There is nothing to show where the extra money is going. I think they lied when they said the bank wanted more money. I don't think I should pay more to cover their lien if the bank agreed to our offer. I have no way of knowing. Our realtor, lender, and title company have never seen anything like this. They've also tried to sell us the hot tub that was listed on the MLS and in the property disclosure. It wasn't included or excluded on the contract. They did leave with the washer and dryer that was included on the contract. Their agent refused to get it back and offered us $200 to get another set. Then he offered us a rusted out set at one of his rental properties. Since then, the sellers have continued to go to the property and take things from the yard. What are my rights? Does this sound nuts or am I just crazy?
