Closing

Closing went by like a blur! For all the hassle that led up to this date, closing was a breeze. It took about 40 minutes and was full of pleasantries, jokes, and of course, us signing our life away.

One thing I did find annoying is something that Mrs. Seller did throughout the closing. She kept saying [in a slightly condescending manner], that she had to read through everything. Each document she sat and stared at for slightly longer than her husband and IMO unless she is a speed reader she couldn’t have read through the whole document that quickly, but still she kept saying she needed to read through everything and making such a big deal about it. She said it so many time it started getting on my nerves, especially the way she was saying it.

At the time we were not reading through everything because the closing agency had sent us most of the documents in advance and the lawyer was summarizing each document. But, I couldn't exactly blurt out... well, we already read through most of this and that is why we are looking irresponsible right now!!

And furthermore, let me remind you about the big taboo we had with the closing date being on July 25th. In the seller’s arguments against the 25th they referenced the original contract, which stated that the closing date was on the 31st. However, this ‘big taboo’ took place after the addendum was signed, in which it stated that the closing was on the 25th, this of course was a document that Mrs. Seller signed and perhaps did not read the whole way through…
