Once you finally go to settlement it would be wonderful that all the loose strings were neatly tucked in and all the checks were written to make all parties happy. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Especially when it comes to the exchange of moneys between buyers and sellers to wrap up a transaction when walk-through items have been identified and must be remedied.

In fact, it got some press on other blogs, blogging that I was an idiot who needed to get into the 21st century and that I needed to get my own GPS because I was "lost" and such.
