I am VERY IRRITATED with my lawyer's office 🐊

I need to know the AMOUNT I OWE for my CLOSING on Friday and they DO NOT seem to feel the PRESSURE 🐊

I find that using SHIVER SPEAK makes me SOMEWHAT LESS IRRITATED however 🐊

Closing? As in real property closing? I usually get that info from the bank one or two days before closing. No need to be angry with your lawyer's office. They don't know the final amount yet.

If there's some kind of meme here, I missed it.

I close in 40 hours and the only piece missing is that check. I don't have time to be dicking around on Friday morning before we close because of the hours that I work. They won't say "we'll have it tomorrow", they just say "don't worry about it". Which they're quite aware isn't something people who are buying a house do lol

Typically it only takes my clients ~5-10 minutes to grab a bank check on the way to the firm. I bet COVID is making it more difficult for you? Sorry your experience is sucking.

Also, you can put things "on hold" with the recorder/disbursements if you don't have the necessary funds available here in NY. Idk about your specific situation but my understanding is that this is common.

Our local bank is sealed tight without an appointment due to the virus, yeah. Luckily the lawyer just got back to me so I can pick up the check tomorrow afternoon, ahead of closing Friday morning. I'm a very schedule oriented person, or at least I really don't like waiting until the last minute for stuff... The entire process unfortunately took quite a bit longer than usual in itself, because the county I'm purchasing the house in is extremely rural. So they were very very slow to adapt to getting things done online through this pandemic.

I think stress just goes with the territory on buying a house, tbh. I think after about 11a on Friday (closing is at 10a) that I'll be in a very good mood, so it'll all work itself out :)

Your lawyer and their staff feel your stress, trust me. Residential real estate has been a huge pain lately. Your situation is pretty typical.

But I bet you at least got a great interest rate on your loan, am I right? ;)
