Any product which requires more maintenance and is expensive is nothing but a fad.

Kitchens on high end homes have such exotic materials that require so much cleaning and professional repairs are fads.

Granite countertops
Stainless steel high polished sinks
White glass stove tops
Cooper hoods

All look good only the day the house is sold.

I am not a person who has my phone with me all the time. Half the time, its dead in my purse in the car.

My vote is email. I check mine at least once a day, and its much easier to type a response on the keyboard.

Do you sell a lot of house with Epoxy Flooring in garage, basement, or rooms? if so, does it make difference or value when selling.

Sage advice!

Hi. Thank you for your comments. After sharing 35 years in and near Sarasota, FL, our plan to relocate to an area with excellent healthcare options and great public transportation has begun via the internet. The research triangle of NC seems early in our research to fill the bill. Can you make suggestions? We may well rent during our first year in NC to make certain of a choice for a place to call home. Our thanks, George and Kathy Williamson

I wish more buyers understood this... Excellent point!

Sounds like your priorities are straight to me.

Is the Seller supposed to provide a receipt and/or summary of repairs even if they did some of the repairs themselves?

I'm a buyer having trouble terminating under a Cost of Repair Contingency.

Yesterday got back an inspection report that lists repairs 10 times the Cost of Repair contingency. Today I gave notice to terminate for that AND for the termite report, each of which gives me the right to terminate. There are several very large items - like replacing the entire substructure due to termite damage, and repairing undisclosed fire damage in the attic - so there's NO question in anyone's mind that the Contingency amount is met.

The listing agent (not the seller) has been hounding me since the day of inspection asking me to email her the full inspection report. I can't figure out why she wants it (doesn't she then have to disclose all these material facts?) She insists that I email her the whole inspection report - which I paid for - before she'll release my earnest money.

The termite report gives me grounds to terminate, it seems I could just provide that.

Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Good points Mike. I have thus far not entered into the world of twitter, but have been considering it as of late. I can't quite figure out what the benefit is or how this media can be used to my benefit. Never thought of what the pitfalls could be until finding this blog post.

BTW, I came across your post doing a google search about twitter. Who gives the best exposure? Twitter or city-data? hmmmmm

very good now if some would heed this info
...Mike you are a level head on here from a lot I read
