On Friday I sent over a letter from my employer confirming my employment. I was told that was the final thing I needed to do, and after 30+ days, escrow on my new home would close on Wednesday, August 27th. Unfortunately I was laid off yesterday. I received a generous severance pay and I already have two interviews scheduled for this Friday. I'm not worried about my future financially, but I'm worried that my being laid off will stop the purchase of my home. My father said when he bought a home 14 years ago, they called his work the final day of escrow to see if he was still employed. Do escrow companies still do this? Should I be honest with them? Should I not say a word? I'm really conflicted over this. I'm so close to the end of escrow. I can't believe this happened. Any advice will be appreciated.
