every dollar counts -- saving 143 of them!

I'm relatively new to BP, so I don't have that many success stories just yet, but here's a teeny tiny one.

I'm closing on two houses from the same seller in a few days and I noticed in the HUD that there was a charge of $84 for currier/postage/wire fees -- one charge for each house, so $168 all together. I wrote to the title company and pointed out that there was no currier and no postage and only one wire coming through for the two houses, and they immediately wrote back and changed the total to $25.

I'm pleased as punch that I saved $143 in 5 minutes. And I'll definitely be checking the nickels and dimes on my settlement statement from now on!
