Nice post Brother O, but I intended that for Mike "Silent Letter" Garcia. []

I'll Bet "Silent Lett-er" Takes on a New Meaning If Your Trapped in the Car With Mike G. [:I][:-crazy][:-boggled[:-eyebrow

Mike, now that you mention it, there is a reference to having your banker look at your house prior to siging the note. I believe it was in a publication from FHA in 1939.

I'm not supposed to care if they buy or not, so I don't. If they do buy I'm not an SOB that time, if they don't I probably get another job. Win-win if you ask me.

I use the "prior to closing" phrase when I think my client may get blind-sided with huge expenses after the sale. That I care about. Most of my clients are not sophistocated in real estate or construction/defects/repairs, so I worry that if I don't warn them in certain types of situations the people in the deal who are sophistocated in real estate will let them take the hit. There's also the not so inconsequential or unlikely possiblity they might look for someone to blame/pay when that happens, legitimate or not.

But that's my take, and I don't have any big issue with anyone who sees this particular topic otherwise. Do the right thing, whatever you believe that is, and you'll probably be fine.

Right Mike? (note the silent "e")

Well said Brian.
