I am starting to get it down - but I did write a contract in December  for a closing this month and had to do an addendum when we all FINALLY noticed I had 2015 written in the contract!   Not one of us - not even the title company caught it!

But, I am grateful to have closings to start the New Year off right!

Good morning Silvia. I have been writing 2016 on mortgage applications for for a couple of months, so the transition is usually pretty easy, but have still screwed it up a couple of times.

This si the first year where I haven't had an issue.  I think with so many things being automatically time stamped these days, it makes it easier since we don't write the date as much.  I wrote a check the other day and remembered it was 2016 right away...I surprised myself!
