Short sales are increasing this year, and these transactions can take up to three times longer than a traditional transaction. A lot can go wrong in that timeframe. These are the most common delays, according to a recent article by George “Gee” Dunsten, a real estate broker and president of Gee Dunsten Seminars, at RISMedia.
Title issues: Be sure to do a title exam at the beginning in order to identify all individuals on the deed and mortgages, and determine all lien holders.
Lack of communication with the lender: Lost documents and misunderstandings commonly cause delays. Make it a habit to follow up with the mortgage servicer twice a week to avoid unnecessary delays.
Delaying the start: Some short sales have not even begun until a contract to purchase has been initiated. But this could add up to two extra months to the process. The lender won’t even look at a buyer contract until a seller candidate for a short sale is approved and the market value has been determined, Dunsten writes.
Incomplete packages: Make sure you carefully submit all the documents completely and accurately. Submitting incomplete packages is another common culprit of delays. All home owner financial information will need to be kept current and forwarded to the servicer every 30 days, Dunsten writes.
Northern Virginia is the host to deer that occasionally run from wooded areas to back yards and roads. Usually there are no deer crossing signs. With an appropriate distance the deer are not dangerous. The deer occasionally just show up in different areas of town and continue with their business.

The Bucknell Manor has resources for shopping, entertainment, food, and services. With these services there are a variety of options. The surrounding area has trails, wilderness, creeks, basketball courts, fields, rec centers, hills, gyms, and skate parks. Bucknell also has an elementary school and an alternative school.
Inside the homes the style options are up to the owner / owners. Some families in the community have remained in the same homes while raising children into adulthood. Locally there is a elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and graduate school with a variety of extracurricular activities.
