Re: mortgage
YOU CAN DELAY YOUR CLOSING IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR ATTORNEY VERIFY ALL OF THIS. I ALWAYS TELL MY CLIENTS TO WORK WITH 2 DIFFERENT MORTAGE BROKERS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ATTORNEY, I SUGGEST YOU GET ONE ASAP. I AM AN EXPERIENCED REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY IN NJ, IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE I CAN BE REACHED AT 201-646-9600.
