@Chandler Rehbein just like Kevin said in his 1st sentence... not all companies are created equal. in my agency we don't work with carrier that have anything other than A ratings unless the client specifically requires it...  

Reposting  @Ibn Abney's  last sentence for emphasis:  Not all areas south of the loop are warzones and property values are 40%-60% cheaper than similar properties north of the loop!! 

For your contract in particular, you would need verbiage that says something like either "In reference to the contract for purchase and sale... between Macen DiPaolo or assigns (buyer) and _____ (seller)"....or add a sentence like..."

Agree on the last sentence. 

And both good.It's really not that hard of a concept, and apparently everyone else who has read this thread understands what I was saying (otherwise, I'm sure I'd get attacked by others as well).I'll try to use smaller words and shorter sentences in the future...

Those who write a paragraph usually get more answeres than someone with an eight word sentence.

Fair enough Rich...you didn't take the whole sentence though.

Please re-read that sentence if you don't understand.  

Thanks for yelling at us YSP.DID YOU KNOW THAT ANYONE WHO TYPES IN ALL CAPS AND DOESNT USE PUNCTUATION AND USES RUN-ON SENTENCES CAN ACCURATELY PREDICT A REAL ESTATE MARKET ITS A PROVEN FACT.Grandwally, I completely agree.

I got a POF letter a long time ago from a transactional funding company and I still use the same one, just change the dollar amount on it.Jon mentioned a really good point, going after properties on the MLS and having to provide earnest money b/c thats how realtors are trained...........I'm sure I'll get a little heat for that sentence but oh well...........
