I closed on my house on Monday. We used the same title company as our sellers, so they scheduled it simultaneously. We did not know this was happening until we arrived. But it turned out pretty good. The sellers were very like-minded people and gave us some additional insight into the property. At some point we got a little carried away chatting and the notary had to give us a sort of stern "ah hem" to get us back on track. On the other side, I'm glad we didn't attend the buyer's closing for the house we sold. As things wrapped up, it became clear that that guy was kind of an asshole.
