It seems to be missing the wood flooring at the moment, but did get the insulation wet and there was a puddle of water under the pipe.

Suing in district or superior court, as it's my understanding most cases settle without actually getting to a judgement, which I think is counter to my goal to leaving a record.

Sounds like you are feeding into pipe dreams.

So we countered at $10K over the list price and the Buyer took it.

Alternately for the persistant ones I just keep the line open, meaning tie their people up by just putting the phone on the counter and let them talk.I am surprized they are not labeled as potential spam on your phone expecially with the sequential numbers. 

Also, why did the pipe break?

Avon, CT is a hot market, with multiple offers being received the weekend of the open house, which is scheduled one week after listing.My offer of $725,000 was $20,000 lower than the highest bid, but was accepted without counter because it was not contingent on financing, while the highest offer at $745,000, while the buyer had pre approval financing, was subject to financing.

But I will counter some.When we talk larger checks, there is a lot of variability in what that means

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

Green is good yellow needs to be looked at and Red is there is something wrong.. you simply walk in and pick up a copy of it on the counter..
