Hey Bob, sounds like a frustrating situation. 

I am a little bit frustrated, because I do not think anyone would have said anything had I not reached out to the city.

I am frustrated and don't know what to do.

and in CHi town its very frustrating you have buyer and seller each has a lawyer then you have each client with a realtor so lots of coordinating etc.. and come to think of it thats how they do it in Charleston SC as well. the lawyers are just closing the transactions like escrow officers but in Chi town I saw them also reply on inspection addendums.. and you talk about killing deals..

I try to be courteous and spend tens of hours into my tax prep before I ever send them off to reduce the time and frustration of the person preparing my returns.

Creating customized procedures is going to result in more work, more mistakes, and more frustration than it's worth. 

Otherwise, an employer is legally not allowed to share worker information, so we have a Verification of Employment (VOE) form we send with applicant's authorization signature.The biggest challenge/frustration is, all of this takes more time and effort - which costs a PMC more payroll!

We needed to part with our initial lender because their math was not adding up and they couldn't explain why (very frustrating).

You're frustrated by the amount of time it's taking from you.

It will be frustrating and even more frustrationing is that... without a written policy, it'll be extremely difficult to explain that you didn't discriminate.Sidenote: We send application standards BEFORE they schedule a first showing.
