I asked for the last appt of the day as I was driving from south Fla after having closed up my home there. On the way to The Villages, the turnpike was completely shut down for over 2.5 hrs due to a horrible accident. I was totally freaked out knowing there would be no way I would arrive timely for my walk through with the builder. I contacted my agent who arranged for him to come the next morning. The time stretched on and I soon knew the inevitable was going to happen and I would miss my closing altogether. And that is exactly what happened. I did not make it to TV until 5:30 PM. I was in constant contact with my agent through all of this. However, because my wire had been received in advance, along with the closing documents, they treated it as a closing by mail and all was well. The next day I had my walk through and went to the closing office to get my ID and copies of all the documents! So I might advise you to do the same if you wish to make the trip down.  hope this helped! |
Hotrodgirl, Thanks for this advice. I will plan to close by mail and make sure the funds are wired in advance. If we can't make it to the closing it will go on as planned.
