Answer
Sorry to read your plight, Ted, but what do you want ME to do? You should be working with a real estate agent who should know enough to make sure your transaction goes through all right. A good real estate agent is the person you should be using so you don't have to tolerate the treatment you are getting. If the home is bank owned, I know for a fact that you should be working with a GOOD real estate agent. Present your problems to him/her or get yourself a better one. Or talk to the manager of his/her office and tell him/her you want better agent. I do wish you well.
