[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1305657, member: 42"] I've only bought one home in my life, and I was actually out of the country when that happened...my wife had to do it on her own. Ours went fairly smooth...but we had about $1k of unexpected payments. I have two friends who both recently built/closed on new homes and their closings were nightmares. In one case the final payment at closing was nearly 40% higher than the estimate given the day prior to closing....to the tune of 10's of thousands of dollars. In the second case, the title company called and said "we are ready to close today" so the folks dropped everything and headed to the office. The title company called them several times during the drive to make sure the buyers were enroute but when they got there the title folks said "oh, sorry it turns out we aren't ready so you can't close today". We have a vast array of professions on this board, can anyone elaborate why "Closing" [I]seems[/I] to be such an inexact science full of surprises? [/QUOTE]
