Default Welcome to LaLa Land

You know you’re in La-la-land when you’re welcomed on-site by a realtor, given some cute booties to be worn inside over your shoes, and plied with an endless supply of chilled bottles of water imprinted with a picture of the residence and the realtors information.(Check out the pictures) In addition, you find yourself part of a group that includes a general contractor, a plumber, a geologist, a mold specialist (Industrial Hygienist if you please), two HVAC contractors working independent of each other, a roofing contractor, and a chimney specialist replete with video--scanning equipment, and a few lowly assistants.

HA! I've worked a few of his listings. Pretentious to say the least

Hose? Are you sure they weren't filled from that magic spring in the neat white bowl?

Keith,
Since there was a GC., two HVAC subs, a roofer, a Mold Specialist, and chimney specialist I assume that you did not have to write a report on those aspects of the house.

If I may ask......What was the square footage, how much time did you spend "on site", what did you charge and what did you base your price on?
