That said, since they DID sign off, it's time to move on. Clear the garbage, change the locks and own it. Maybe you get some help fixing some issues, but I wouldn't count on it.

Thanks for the reply. The storm on the night before close, was not entirely all that occurred here. It was just the bigger issue of many along the way. It seems to have been used as an easy excuse for multiple people to bail from their responsibility at the end of the process.
The "storm" was not a hurricane as it came over the villages.
We've had worse summer storms since I've lived here.
It was all but over by noon if I recall.
At LSL, 5hrs later when we were there for the thrown together "revised" closing...no wind, no rain, no damage of any kind, approx 150-200 people out walking about, eating, shopping, driving around, listening to the music. We drove there without issue of any kind, as did the title clerk. We waited for other parties to arrive as stated they would. They never did...there was zero reason why other involved parties could not have made it as well IMHO.
That said, I fully understand others would not have closed.
We in hind sight should not have. There were concerns over having already gone from 30 to a 60 day close vs our timeline to move, Todays holiday closures, possibly losing our interest rate lock and most importantly - the previous assurance - that these issues would be resolved prior to close with no way to confirm that, sans any real estate agent available.
As already stated: We trusted VLS agents to do what they stated they would do.
They didnt. Simple as that.
Lesson Learned.
