I was the buyer in the Jason Greene selling of his house. Our closing did take over a month longer than it was suppose to but we were pushing for a very quick closing. The main reason for the delay was that their was a cloud on the title. Unfortunately due to the way property lines are divided up in mid-town KC it took a great deal longer to figure out what was going on.

I was greatly appreciative of Rick Woodruff's commitment to me as the buyer. He told me that he wanted to make sure I was getting a clean and clear title and not walking into a bad situation. Though the delay was frustrating I was always appreciative of Rick's honesty, commitment to the person that was employed by him, his ethics and integrity.

The housing market in our country right now is radically different than it was before 2008 and I believe that my delay was not due to the mortgage lender but it was due to a number of things; real estate agents not knowing fully the laws, the cloud on the title, the title company, and the underwriter's. Underwriter's, no matter which mortgage company you work with don't have a commitment to the buyer They are working to follow the new laws that are in place because if they don't, it's their jobs on the line. I do think there needs to be a change with underwriter's lack of consideration for the buyer and seller, but that is not Metropolitan Mortgage's fault, that is our government.
