However, it was not something that we planned on and I did not have any sort of communication prior to with that particular poster planning to highlight their services. good point Joe will have to see if I can see that kind of behavior..

It's just one more government body asking for a lot the same information.  

As far as the sale of a property with a mortgage on it, that all gets sorted out at close. ie, you bring your money, the bank gets what they have coming, the realtor gets what they have coming (if there's one involved) and the seller gets the rest.

I mean in general what sort of expert should I try finding first, but if someone has specific people in mind who deal with the UP that works for me too.

Do you mean message you if we want to join some sort of class action lawsuit against them?

With the lean and our body height we trim up to around 22 feet.  

My numbers on that property are good now, although it took a year for me to sort out exactly what we wanted to do with it. 700k duplex, single story, about 2,500 sq ft total building size. 1500 sq ft for the 3 bed/2 bath with pool and 1,000 sq ft 2/1 small private yard on the other. 

@Chris Kay finding a quality, cost-effective contractor is extremely difficult:(There are thousands of contractors that are great talkers, but rarely perform within budget.Standard bait & switch is to lowball a bid, then once they get started all sorts of things "pop up" that somehow their bid didn't cover.
