Who had no problem with my request to use the actual date. 

Understanding the interest rate, loan maturity date, and any prepayment penalties will help gauge urgency.3.

One of the REPS cases (I forget which off hand) they were basically like...petitioner states they spent 8 hours on X date supervising painters at the property and we find it highly unlikely that anyone would sit and watch paint dry for 8 hours. 

You can delay the sales of the properties for your convenience.If you put all the properties on the market now and one property gets under contract before the others, you can sing into the contract that you can potentially delay the closing date by a certain amount of days.Best of luck!

One of my first--and biggest to date-- blunders in real estate was working with a contractor that I deeply connected with. 

I use WOW Video Tours for my listings.

These I have found are real, striving parents, working their butts off to provide the best housing and school system for their children.My ethos in this approach is exactly why we at LaPlante refer to them as Residents, as we consider "Tenant and Landlord" to be dated terms and rife with negative emotion.

Sure you can get away with it , until a home inspector looks at the dates on electric wire , or pvc pipe .
