I got the feeling that the attorney was doing the least amount possible and didnt really care about the transaction. I guess you could have good on either side. An agent should be more invested though, as that is their bread and butter.
I'm surprised your agent didn't raise more of a fuss since it seems there was a few red flags (signing early, not clean a day before movein, etc). If it's just cleaning stuff I probably wouldn't worry about it although you are probably on the hook for the carpets. Now if it was more serious stuff, like you requested a repair and it didn't get done, there is no way your agent would've allowed you to close in that situation.

When you balance current mortgage rates against stock market performance, you are better of taking that extra cash and investing it. Your situation is no different than someone who is trying to decide whether to take their say $500 cash surplus per month and either use it to pay down their mortgage or invest it. Ultimately if your $500 is going to earn more interest in the market than you'll save by paying down your mortgage, then your opportunity cost lies in favor of investing. Then, once you factor in that mortgage interest is tax deductible, it further favors the investment scenario.
