I recently signed a contract for a Cobble Hill co-op unit. We are scheduled to close on Tuesday of next week. I just found out that even though we’re scheduled to close in 4 days, the seller has still not signed the contract (the “executed contract”). I was told that the seller will be signing the contract on Monday, the day before closing. I also just learned that the seller is having another open house this Sunday, just 2 days before we close.

I fully understand that a seller can and should continue to show his/her property until the buyer signs the contract, and for back-up offers, but in this case, I signed and returned the contract a while ago, and we’re supposed to be closing in a few days. Is this standard? Thank you.
