The following is a true story. The names have been changed to protect the innocent (in this case, the real estate buyer). One day last week, a client of mine called me to let me know that her offer on her new house had been accepted and she wanted my office to order the title insurance. I asked her to have the realtor forward me the agreement of sale so I could commence protecting her interests in purchasing her home. I informed her that our title company, Heartland Abstract, does not charge the $200 to $350 in "junk fees" (settlement fee, wire fees, UPS fees, document preparation, e-doc delivery, etc.), so she would be able to utilize the cost savings to purchase some personal items for the house, like perhaps a television or some window treatments. She was very excited and told me she would have the document sent to me.
