The closing I had the the other day had a twist, as most do these days.
My buyer, Cindi, her husband and I are sitting at the attorney's office, waiting for the package to be printed, when I hear the closing agent asking Cindi if she has ANY documentation of her legal name, which is Cynthia.
Cindi's reply is no, she has her husband's social security card copy and the kids, but not hers. Her driver's license has Cindi. Her re-inspect appraisal has Cynthia, but that does not suffice.
How could we have gotten to this point, I'm thinking, without her legal name?
I call Travis, the wunderkind of lending, and he has a copy of her social security card, with Cynthia on it, which he can scan and email over to save the day and get us to close.
The moral of the story: even people you have known for 20 years you may not REALLY know!
