... living in fear about "allowing a stranger to enter their home"
some icky scary stranger who they've already talked to, confirming time, place, making copies of IDs, etc., one whom their lender and escrow officer have already told is coming and SURPRISE, somebody who actually shows up at the exact prearranged hour. What a coincidence! Who could it possibly be? But wait, might still be the boogie man lurking outside their door, plotting some sort of home invasion. In fact, it's us poor NSAs who have so much more to fear: growling dogs sticking their noses up your you-know-what, hoarder homes, cat pee soaked carpets, signing tables covered with mail, Rx bottles, dried mustard and yesterday's dinner, no place to sit, no lights inside or outside, tripping over potted plants, no railing on ice-encrusted concrete steps, etc. etc.
I think we should quid pro quo here and require a picture of the borrowers' home interior and exterior before consenting to go. Might put us "at ease." |
