We closed recently and there were some things that bothered me during the process. I’m wondering if anyone experienced similar things and have any comments. <\/p>\n
Firstly, the actual closing event was like a zoo. People were talking over each other. It was super hard to hear whenever our lawyer was trying to summarize the gist of each document we were signing. What came through my mind was how could anyone concentrate on what they were doing. Is this the norm?<\/p>\n
I had no idea the role of the title closer. I wish I had known about this and done a little more research. From what I can gather, the title closer is selected by our lawyer? At least our title closer seemed infinitely chummy with our lawyer. Ours kept getting my name wrong. They made a big deal about my husband’s name, penning in his middle initial as that got left off. Well, we have the official deed now and my name is incorrect. The last part of the first name is now listed as part of my lastname. I kept telling the title guy over and over that the hyphen meant the first two words were my firstname but I guess he still didn’t get it. How hard is this to correct and will there be implications later on when we go to sell? The mortgage is only in my husband’s name. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We closed recently and there were some things that bothered me during the process.
