I went away from closing highly peeved with the process. I very much object to having any document presented to me on the day of closing I had not had a chance to read over beforehand. The particular document in question I was asked (required, obligated, forced, compelled...) to sign declared my agreement, as buyer, to the seller's state of mind and knowledge of circumstances that I have no way of confirming and I would infer to be otherwise. The document also declared that in any event any subsequent dispute between the seller and buyer was NOT a matter of which the title/escrow team had any knowledge. (Again, I infer otherwise, or they wouldn't require me to agree to a signed release.)
I am taking all other business in the area to other companies. read more
