Settlement Statement
Folks, I have received a "settlement statement" that lists estimated closing costs that the buyer has to pay. I questioned some of these charges and got the lender (loan officer) to agree that they should be removed. I asked my RE agent to get the settlement company to submit a revised settlement statement.
My agent says this can't be done. According to her, "The closing title clerk should receive her final loan documents either the morning of settlement or sometimes the day before" and therefore she can't revise the settlement statement.
Does this sound legit? There's a good $2000 in extraneous fees/charges that should come off that statement.
TIA
