I technically dont have possesion of the property yet and have paid thousands of dollars in closing costs and down payment. My real estate agent or title company cannot do a thing other than sit and wait for the bank. It has been 2 business days now. What can I do? I'm really freaking out.

Where is the property? In California it would not be possible for the bank to have your money without providing a good and recorded title. If you are back east who knows?
Sounds fascinating though! Normally the delivery is a recorded deed and title insurance. How can you close escrow without both being present...Hey maybe I am about to learn something. Can one close escrow withlout delivering the property?
