Is the government shutdown preventing you from buying or selling a home?

The closure of many government agencies is threatening deals because people can’t get loans or crucial documents. Are you one of them?

Are you having trouble getting a loan from the Federal Housing Administration? Is your loan held up because lenders can’t get paperwork from the Internal Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration? Are you a seller whose buyer is having problems?

I want to hear from home buyers, sellers, Realtors, mortgage brokers or anybody else whose home deal is affected by the government shutdown.
