You know the Mortgage Talking Points(tm) Flyers that you know and love? We’ve created a Face Book version (which is shorter) that you can click a button a auto-post to your wall. Because of the limited number of characters that FB allows, it’s the condensed version BUT they always end with “Call me for more details.”
Great info for your real estate agents and affinity partners.

Delayed closings! Sellers getting mad. Buyers’ truck (with all of their friends) sitting in the parking lot! It’s a mess when you have to postpone the closing for another 3 days because of new GFE disclosures.
Prepare for the worst–hope for the best!
I suggest that you email your real estate agents (Hot Tip of the Week) to add a clause to all purchase agreements that says: “Automatic Closing Date Extension Granted by buyers and sellers due to RESPA and/or Disclosure delays”. (Or have them talk with their Broker on how best to word it for their rules.)
It’s better to have the “conversation” about the potential problem upfront–than at the closing table.
