You need at the very least: a P&S contract, a POA, a deed, a CYA letter, a title search, and a payoff figure (in writing) before stroking any check to the atty or sellers. 

Her husband recently suffered a stroke has to stay in Puerto Rico due to his condition.

Different strokes for different folks.

This whole ordeal lasted about 2 weeks, and was due to some field investigator that supposedly came to my house while I was at work and my father that lives with me since his stroke answered the door.  

I think of golf instruction... and specialty golf schools.. how many golfers can go to a weekend course and lower their handicap by 5 strokes.. or all of a sudden hit it 30 yards further.. but of course those that sell that instruction that is the claim.. and those specialty courses cost in the thousands and that's just to get better at a game..

Broad stroke concepts that would work for me.  

Broad stroke concepts before a formal PSA or Option is executed.  

Different strokes for different folks = different people and areas have different success rates with offer acceptance.Some people say they get "all" of their offers accepted (at least I read one post in the BP forums where somebody made a claim along those lines).Some people say they get 1 in 10 offers accepted, some 1 in 20, some 1 in 40 - so this can be all over the map.

Stephen, I am not sure you intended to paint with such a broad stroke.

@James Hong I think you're kind of painting all turn key companies with the same brush stroke when you ask if these companies really have your best interest in mind or do they just want to get their properties sold.
