Today’s Closing Reminder - Stuff Happens
We funded what was supposed to be a clean double close today. Solid title company, they knew exactly what they were doing. Instructions were clear, amounts were communicated, HUDs were correct, Payoff amount correct. Everything checked out.
And still… mistakes happen.
When the wire came back, we only received our principal, not the fee. As soon as I saw it hit, I picked up the phone immediately. No email chains. No waiting.
It wasn’t intentional at all. They had accidentally wired more money to the seller than they should have.
Stuff like this happens. Even with good teams and clean processes.
The important part? How fast you respond and how you handle it.
We talked it through, corrected it, and had everything resolved by end of day. Another successful closing in the books.
Just a reminder: real estate doesnt go perfectly every time. It’s about staying calm, communicating clearly, and fixing issues when they pop up. That’s how you build long-term business resilience.
