Its traditional (so our attorney said) so we did. Actually our guy came in at the 11th hour and did the search for us because his co-worker did not show . So he sort of saved the day!

b/c its 'customary' if you do not do it voluntarily a check or cash to them at the end sometimes if its a refin or a bank doing the closing they just say FEES or MISC FEES craig had a whole bunch of these under Fees I saw 70.00 and knew right away that was a TIP so you have to tell them upfront or otherwise many banks seem to just take it out of escrow so for e.g. if you were going to get back lets say 1200.00 you might only get 1100.00 or 1125.00

exactly how I felt Lisa - our lawyer explained it similar to tammy and we just did it - we were like what the heck - it's only an extra XYZ and then after tipping everyone at the wedding not long before what is one more person! LOL

sometimes MISC Fees are for photocopying etc..... but usually a 75.00 one is a tip if the papers are prepared before the closing

Tips are required by a few of the folks at your closing. Both of my parents are in mortaging and told me 'you don't want your title put in the bottom of a pile someplace, tip the women and it will get filed promptly' so I highly suggest that you tips those that require it. Sometimes it is put into your bill though so double check ALL charges.
