I don't get many folks who've been imbibing heavily prior to my arrival. After all, they are expecting our arrival, right, and they feel the need to fortify themselves for the event?
Sometimes borrowers will be in their "happy hour" when I show up, but it doesn't bother me so much since we are surrounded by the fruits of the wine country. Often I am offered a glass of wine, which I graciously and ever so politely turn away. I still have to get home, and often in the darkness.
One couple, years ago, one couple was plowed when I showed. Thankfully the loan officer was present too, and I was happy that he wanted to get this refi transaction signed and out the door quickly.
Lack of control, I guess, Diane. I would certainly want to be 100% present for my loan signing. What would veterans do? Exactly what you did. Proceed and see what happens. Glad he didn't pass out on you. He must have a high tolerance for the stuff.
This business is no cake walk. So many obstacles we cannot predict. I feel for newcomers to the biz. |
