I used to drive the mortgage brokers crazy by actually reading the documents at a signing. "Nobody does that." "That" was nearly 20 years ago. I can only imagine...
20 years ago, closing on the house I am in now, I read all the documents (or tried to!) with one of the realtors constantly piping up with irrelevant comments. That woman could not stand a moment of silence...I had to keep stopping to give her the evil eye, so that I could read the papers I was putting my signature to.
And even at that the lawyer had messed it up. He had to go back months later and file corrections, I forget exactly what.
When I bought my first house in the early 90’s I had to sign 5 documents at the bank to close. When I bought my current house in 2001 my hand got cramps from all the signing required...
