Ever closed a house like this?

It has been awhile but I just ran across this picture.  I had this house listed for four days.  The seller was bound and determined to buy his neighbor's Harley after I got his house sold using the proceeds.

Well....come closing day he had made a trip to the bank and took out a VERY temporary loan and bought the neighbor's Harley.  He insisted that we ride to the attornies office for the closing.  It was a fall day and kinda chilly but we set out anyway as the attornies office was just in the next town...about 25 miles one way.

Nope, I've never had a closing like that either. But sounds like it was a good time and is a good memory for you.
