60 days to close is a very common time frame for closing. We we bought a new house in The Villages was the first I had heard of a 30 day close. That 30 days was actually extended to 60 days for awhile.

I understand you being upset but your story changes as you were telling it. First the time and location were changed and no one told you to later you received so many calls about the changes that everyone should have known about the changes. Also no one showed up other than the title company but later you said all the people from the bank were there.

You having an agent would have been helpful. Not sure where the sellers agent was, she probably could have made a call to get the keys etc.

Hopefully the cleanup and repairs don’t cost you too much. Many still hire cleaners even if the place looks spotless just to be sure. Good luck moving forward and Welcome to the Villages.
The OP said that the seller wanted to extend the closing for 60 days because they "needed more time". Why? I would have said no. The house is either for sale or it is not. That should have been a red flag. If you want to sell the house, you should close when the buyer is ready. I have never waited 60 days to close on a house, and I never would do it to convenience the seller.
