The call that made me say "Absolutely not" three times in two minutes.
Client calls me Friday at 5 PM: "Teresa, they want to move closing to Monday. The seller needs to close early. Is that okay?"
Me: "Did you see the contract addendum?"
Client: "What addendum?"
Me: "The one that changes your closing costs by $3,000."
This is exactly why you don't say yes to last-minute changes without reading every single word.
That "small favor" for the seller? It was going to cost my client three grand they didn't budget for.
We're not doing that.
Your attorney isn't there to be difficult. We're there to read what you don't have time to read and catch what everyone else hopes you'll miss.
Monday closing? Sure. But we're doing it with the original terms.
What's the weirdest last-minute closing change you've heard of?
