If the guest is in town for a special occasion you can provide a decoration service.

Yes, reply in a positive way, use this occasion to your benefit!

(On occasion I may help someone buy or sell but it's not my focus).Note: I already have experience with the buying and selling process so I don't need any training on forms, documents, etc.Thanks!
