The last time they sent an email out and asked for a firm price.  

The seller stayed firm at $300k.

I have a few jobs: I do some bookeeping, budgeting, and business consulting for a local architect, I work at at CPA firm during tax season, and I own a little side business with my friend doing pressure washing and sealing driveways, patios, sidewalks, etc.

Stay firm.

So my preference is on hiring a design-build firm.

I've had new VA clients this year miss out on properties in multiple offer situations by asking the seller to pay their closing costs (against my firm advice to the contrary) because of something they read online or someone told them about VA loans.

I am a firm believer that there is always a good deal regardless of the market.

Before starting my abatement firm I owned a testing company, which provided the analysis & narrative reports, such as the one which contained the lab results you referred to.A large factor in "what to do with it" is based on what your intentions are with the property. 

You can switch brokerage firms as needed too.

I try my best to be fair with the tenants while holding firm to the terms of the lease and other rules provided to the tenant.
