Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation (MD)

We tries several times to resolve this and the problems continue without resolution. Reason continues to be that they are too busy. 

Initial closing set for XXXX XXXX at XXXX. I took off work to come home and lender and title company ( selected by lender ) arranged for Notary to come by my home and sign our loan documents. Received call from Notary that documents had not been sent. Documents finally completed and Title company wanted to send Notary to my home at XXXX. We opted for the following day at XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX - Notary arrived at XXXX and we signed documents with the Notary. Later that day I was informed by Title company that documents signed were incorrect and we had to resign that night.

Updated docs were dropped last night with todays date. My customer is having to reclose a 2nd time today alone on a reschedule from yesterday. If your docs dont have todays date ( which is why we are having to reclose a 2nd time today ) then you are using the wrong set. Please verify!

The email below still says XX/XX/XXXX. When I go in to complete them it says they are already complete. 
____________________________ XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX Another notary was sent out with the correct documents. We were drained but signed the second set of documents by about XXXX. Are ability to properly review these documents was greatly reduced. 

We were told everything went through and the loan funds were not dispersed/wired until XX/XX/XXXX which was an very long time. 

We received this apology from the lender : ____________________________ From : XXXX XXXX XXXX Sent : Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXXTo : XXXX ' XXXX ; XXXX XXXX ' XXXX Cc : XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX Automatic reply : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MD XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MD XXXX : E-Close Instructions Good morning XXXX XXXX 

You are absolutely right. It was a horrible comedy of errors that led you to experience the most disorganized closing Ive ever seen happen, and completely atypical. I have put together a timeline of events I will be reviewing with my leadership team and the corresponding departments and 3rd parties involved. I can not apologize enough to you both for the last few days. I understand it doesnt matter how good things were handled up to that point, if we cant get the closing done with the same excellence, it is a failed overall experience for you the customer. 

As for your wiring instructions, 3rd party Title will have to get that to you directly for compliance reasons. I have copied in XXXX  at XXXX to see if she can get those instructions to you ( or know who could ). 

XXXX you and XXXX were amazingly kind during this whole ordeal. Our jobs dont see much grace when things dont go exactly perfect, but you guys ( while frustrated understandingly ) handled it with such grace. Our industry has been running 400 % capacity all year, and our teams have been pushed beyond limits previously thought impossible in volume and hours worked, and we strive to make each transaction 5-star without excuse. While we fell short of that mark in the end, you guys treated everyone that touched your file with kindness and respect. I cant thank you enough for that.

We had no notification from the lender or Title company prior so we thought it was a scam. 

After emails to the Lender we find out the the documents signed at the third closing were sent to the wrong location and destroyed. 

The Lender and title company are now demanding that I setup a 4th closing to fix their errors.
