I will only consider contractors and managers with references. 

I'm looking for those who currently do this, or those who can refer me to an awesome realtor in the area to answer my many questions.

Just to be clear, the 1% rate I'm referring to is standard for ALL direct mail, across all industries and all types of direct mail (letters, postcards, etc).  

@Upen Patel...and the appraisal, survey, home inspection...all come after with a "fully approved loan" in play...If any of those items come back with an issue, how does underwriting adjust for the many things that can happen.

With the exception of one, I can see clearly where the items you listed could impact the value.

Commercial tenants are different as they can account for leasehold improvements, expense and depreciate the items, but not a resident, residents cannot account for maintenance on taxes and the owner has that responsibility.Maintenance of a residence is therefore an owner's responsibility in every state of this country! 

The public records show the Engineering Executive Summary Report of recommendations and also the foundation consultant company that performed the repairs NOC.While the engineering company has a good descriptive summary and many references to the Florida Statutes, the NOC just lists "foundation repair" with no other description of work that would be done.I called both companies to get a copy of the actual final report and neither would relinquish a copy because I'm not the "owner".

He was the handyman I refer to in this blog: I Burned My House To The Ground.

The company also referred me to realtors they work with for properties but I'm not sure if I should go with the company or to find properties and Realtors on my own.

In my opinion, I'd call it fraud, although technically, it may not be.So for me, your business practices don't meet my standards for anyone I will do business with, or who I will refer my clients too.
