Based solely on anecdotal evidence it seems that when faced with the large number of documents that needs to be signed, there are those who don’t read every document, but glance and sign. I am not saying everyone does it that way, but I refuse to sign or initial any document that I haven’t read and understood. I will take as much of the sales person’s time or office time as I need. Blank spaces to be filled in later? The document is not ready for my signature.

All the closings (including our two Villages homes) I have been to, before any signature if affixed to a legal document, the document is explained to me so I have a general idea what the document is stating. Read all the documents at closing from top to bottom? Hardly. That would take a couple of hours and I would not slow down the process. I do, however, want to know the gist of every document I'm signing or will not affix my signature.
