The property was off market because it was shown exclusively to me before hitting the market.

My intuition served me well just two years later when the Pandemic hit, we fled LA to enjoy our 2020 summer and haven't really looked back since.

Fire Dept arrives and garage door is melted, car is melted.Guests call us the next day and tell us the neighbors shot fireworks and hit the house and started the fire and we owe them for damages.We get 3 different camera angles from neighbors clearly showing everything.

Quote from @Scott Morris: It appears as if he runs one of those programs where they hook you on a low/free cost training and then hit you non-stop with "upgrades", and "higher levels of coaching". 

That's hitting the .005% ish area.

Throughout this process, I received inconsistent information from different representatives at State Auto, and my Matic agent's responses were often vague and noncommittal.Recently, another storm hit Houston, and a tree fell on my roof.

Would you say I need a big team of people like employees to hit that.
