You should have heard the comments our broker made when the buyers
selected this escrow company. They said that they have had problems with
that office.
In that case, if the buyers insisted on using that escrow company after
being informed, your broker should have recommended a contract condition
that if it didn't close on schedule, that the buyers would credit a daily
penalty to you in the amount of your total carrying costs: interest, taxes,
investment potential, etc.
