That said, if you have the "disregard if... " on your future mailings, then the awkwardness part is moot because when you ask, with the intent of receiving confirming the status, and they acknowledge that it is, then you can simply apologize for the misunderstanding, gently point out that your mailing had a note about listed properties and so having received the call, you naturally assumed that the property was not listed.  

Hi all, this is my first posting in Deal Analysis....please be gentle.

All it comes down to is how you choose to utilize the site and the tools made available to you.I'm also from Quincy MA, own 2 properties there, and one multi-family in Dorchester MA.The gentle man, "Reed Sasamura", though his profile says from "Honolulu Hawaii".

@shawn Gentle reminder, you might want to put your cslb license number in your profile or website.

@Steven Hamilton llNo one here walks on water, and YOU get to be the kind, gentle mentor to help us all learn as we go. 

., if they re-appraise your home to a lower value without the market actually going south, you could gently ask them if they REALLY want to kill this particular golden goose?

Buff them out(sorry, not familiar with quartz personally)?

I am sure to be as wise and the serpent and gentle as the dove in talking with the appraiser and don't treat them like they are an idiot and I know it all. 

You have bank economists, politicians, and, of course, the media, talking about "the new normal" and any correction being a gentle "soft landing".... sound familiar?

I've had more than one conversation with each dog-owning tenant, gently reminding them of the "pet waste" agreement, and saying that I basically don't want to see, smell, or step in dog poop anywhere on the property, pointing out that it's a health-and-safety issue, not just about pleasing me.Still, I see dog poop when I'm visiting the property--and I don't go looking for it.
