Denied!

It looks like there will be no closing today.

- Was it the lack of middle initial on my loan documents? No.

- Was it a problem with the wire transfer of my down payment? No.

- Was it missing information of any sort from me or any member of my team? No.

It's the seller. Apparently, after being rather menacing about what would happen if I didn't meet the close date, the bank that shall not be named (at least until after closing) couldn't be bothered to complete its paperwork.

Typical, really. But I'll tell the story of the long and torturous path to escrow another day.
