But I also don’t know of any appliance shop with no return policy.

One woman has sent me a magnet and put an informational bag at my door.

If at another shop, let's say the grocery shop, the employee would leave the place instead of serving you that would be very quickly unacceptable.

This will give you more time to shop rates/fees than to be under the gun with a purchase loan. 

If heat goes out in the winter we drop off several units, so they can be placed in different parts of the house - including every room with water like kitchen and bathrooms.We also have dehumidifiers, carpet blowers, shop vacs, puddle-sucker pumps, extra hoses, extra sump pumps with battery pack, squeegees, and portable AC units ready to deploy. 

I will shop around for homes based on these inputs.

You're about 1.5 hrs from both Charlotte and Raleigh, so halfway could be a good compromise if you like more of a smaller feel but still near conveniences and shopping. 4.

I would recommend going to someone that has experience in identifying photo shopped documents. 

I love talking shop!!

Those rates would be low in my area by half .I do service work , the clock starts ticking when the truck leaves the shop and doesnt stop until the truck and men return .
