AFTER paying the public adjuster the claim settlement came out to almost $200k.

While commission has always been negotiable before the NAR settlement, agents didn’t need to disclose their commission to buyers.

You should also have a longer then 30 days for settlement.  

I wish there was something similar for the buyer-agent side.With the upcoming NAR settlement, buyer’s agents must negotiate their commissions.

I suggest you let the settlement agent know about the letter and submit a claim to your title insurer using the procedure listed in your policy. 

So any cash you take from the exchange to pay yourself back for those expenses will be seen as taking profit by the IRS and they will be taxable.If any of your vendors are willing to wait and put those expenses on the settlement statement then they might be eligible depending on what your accountant feels. 

If your 2k is just for their fee, not the other expenses, then call around or go online for estimates from other settlement companies so you can compare. 

I would be concerned about the possibility of them scamming for a future out of court settlement law suit over mold. 

I think you were correct in your statements, about ability to collect on a judgement, but the mere threat of a judgement is often enough to get a GOOD tenant to live up to their responsibility OR at least discuss and negotiate a fair settlement.
