I find it strange that you get asked about your years. Not saying it never happens but for me but it's rare. Most folks are focused on concerns about the house. But I'll admit it could be how I deal with them. I try not to talk much. But I do ask them a lot of questions that are meant to show I know what I'm doing. They may just assume I've been doing this forever and that's fine with me.
