I'm at this closing feeling AWESOME! Slick closing. Great buyers and great sellers. I represent the seller at their attorney. The buyer comes in and mom is all big and smily. She's wearing her maternity pants with those big fat expandable bands for future growth.
I'm sitting there a proud as a peacock. It's end of the month and we're kicking butt and taking names. What could be better right? To keep the excited move for this move up family I open size 11 mouth and insert size 12 foot.
"So...When Are You Due?" I ask as the buyer sits down in her maternity garb (yes....I looked for the maternity clothes so that I wouldn't make the same mistake twice).
BUYER: "We're not pregnant, I just lost the baby."
"How cool is this I think to myself? I just screwed the pooch and the package and the lender hasn't even arrived. This is gonna be a lot of fun!"
So....Im thinking to myself....where is Southwest Airlines when I need them? Damn.
I offer my condolences and change the topic to topics that are more fun. I move to the deed, amortization schedules, and title and surveys. She perks up and by the end of the closing she and I are great. The husband doesn't warm up, but the wife was warm and engaging.
You see I did this once before about 7 years ago and swore I'd never do this again, but the maternity pants. That big spandex band! How could I be so wrong.
This time...when I say never again I mean it!
