Did my first puchase

other than my own yesterday afternoon. Actually, it was for a first and second purchase -- which were smaller than many of the single refis I've encountered.

I was really impressed with the borrower. She was a young lady in her early 30's and is literally beginning a new life and new venture/adventure. Earlier this year she was attending a wedding in anoter state when she saw a For Sale sign. She made an offer and it was accepted. She is in the middle of packing up and leaving Friday and will begin a new job on Tuesday.

The signing took two hours because she read every single word of every single document -- which I would have been upset had she not. I waited patiently while she read and sometimes re-read each page. She is only four years older than my son, and I honestly don't think my son has as good a head on his shoulders. I can only hope that when my son decides to make such an important and probably the most important decision in his life, that someone is as understanding and patient as I was with this young lady.

Congrats, Carolyn. We do tend to be motherly in our jobs, don't we! What location did this take place in?

Brenda,
Signing was at her house, on a make-shift table, i.e., cardboard packing box! She kept saying how sorry she was because the house was a mess, with packing and all -- to tell you the truth, even with all the disarray of packing, this house was cleaner than many of the houses where I've done refis.

Good for You! I did a signing Saturday on a coffee table. I think I'm going to listen to PAW's advice and get me a laptop desk thingy.

Re: Did my first purchase

It wasn't so much the make-shift packing box table as it was having to sit cross-legged on the floor. No, I guess actually it was the getting up from sitting cross-legged on the floor!
