Something is wrong. Terribly wrong. Last Spring, we represented a Buyer client on a transaction that qualified as possibly the worst title experience EVER.... A few days prior to the contracted closing date, our agent received a blank digital closing package with instructions that consisted of "sign and return" only.  She called me with concerns, as our Buyer had never received title commitment from the escrow officer prior to receiving this closing package.

HUD missing Earnest Money deposit & title policy 4. Buyer's check ...
