Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Turns out this wasn't quite over. During the weekend I was organizing my files, and looking over the closing statement noticed that the realtor's commission was mis-calculated. They shortchanged the buyer's realtor by $90. I sent an email to my attorney pointing this out, she quickly figured out what happened. I'll put a check in the mail tomorrow morning to square things.
Sheesh, a room full of well-educated people, a basic math mistake, and no one checks the numbers. And we want people to manage their own retirement finances!
How noble of you. I probably would have just waited for them to come to me... not out of a care for keeping the $90 but more out of an interest to see if the buyer's realtor or anybody else ever figured it out.
I always ask for closing statements in advance and recalculate everything (just the former auditor in me I guess) and I have found errors.
