There are lots of MLS realtors outside TV real estate sales who would like to see a gripe like this b****ed about by a few hundred people for a week or so.
I think most of us who have lived 5 or more decades know we don't have to sign papers containing figures we don't agree with.
We've always gotten an advance copy of our Settlement Statement accounting for every penny to be spent in a closing coming up for us.
Also, TV sales reps do not get involved in the financial amounts the Closing Dept. puts together for the closing. To my knowledge, if a rep gives a bond amount like "2% or so", that is good enough because it's a ballpark figure that is close enough.
