Jersey City, NJ asked in Real Estate Law for New York

Q: I live in New York and recently sold my house. My buyers still have not produced a commitment for the property.

The commitment was due over 50 days ago and I am close to losing my lock in interest rate. My agent and attorney both tell me the file is in underwriting. What can I do???
