Thought I'd let you all know that today, 77 days past the day we signed a contract with the buyer's, underwriting came back and said the buyer's were denied financing.  They claim that the male buyer hasn't been at his job long enough and he isn't a stable buyer.  The man has been at his job 8 months and in the same industry for a long time.  His previous company closed down and he even went and took a picture of the outside of the building to prove it was closed!  Underwriting kept telling the loan officer if they did x, y, and z we would get a clear to close and even a few days ago said it would be coming any day now.  Then today, denied.

Many lenders will not lend to you if you havnt been at the same job for 2 years.

Part of the roll of your agent is to screen the offers. What makes up the strongest offer often is the highest offer, but the ability to close.  A preapproval letter from a strong lender with a reputation for closing deals is one of the most important aspects to an offer package.
