Or have Ms Margarita and Dr Cuervo standing by to rescue me?

Or having our ankles and waist attached to a bungee cord when we fall?

Just thinkout aloud.

In other words KISS. Clients some not all want to know if it is asbestos. I think they want to know so they can have purchase price adjusted or try to at least.

No Mr Wand kiss was your words not mine. I don't think you read all of my post or at least understood.

Yes I do kiss a realtor most every morning have been married to one for the past 38 years.

thanks for the insight, I agree.... and yes, The agent(s) was a mother and son team?! I hate getting nasty callbacks from realtors, doesn't happen very often but when it does they are nasty... the last call back I received about 1 year ago, was even worse...

Why did you recommend the bathroom, kitchen outlets to be GFCI PROTECTED????? The agent flipped out... now that's even worse than asbestos beefs! I couldn't believe that one... I am sure it will not be the last. And I throw safety hazards back in there face, and tell them how would they feel if the new buyers were electrocuted on accident??! it always makes them pause.... on the phone.
