The night before closing
Although I’ve often written contracts and settled home sale transactions on holiday eves, I am winding up my business for 2024 a little bit early – this week, in fact.
I have planned a well-deserved vacation after the first of the new year, but upon my return, I will be reading articles by real estate pundits, following interest rate fluctuations, keeping my ear to the ground, and anticipating what a change in administration will portend for the DMV real estate market.
So, I leave you with a column in verse, apropos for the season, with apologies to settlement attorneys and closing agents. ’Twas the night before closing, in an office downtown.
Two agents were stirring and running around: Linda, the buyers’ rep, bold and astute, And the sellers’ rep, Robert, in his sharp, tailored suit.
