LU repeats the same phrases and only gives two guys' opinions.

Then as time went on an prices kept skyrocketing I realized Seattle, and many other trendy metros, were in bubble territory.

Not quite sure I understand this question.The "request representation" phrasing is interesting, as OD doesn't staff or recommend Realtors for sellers' use.

Find a way to stand out from the competition in a trendy way and you can do well.Love the area and would invest in the area 1000 times over if I could do it again.

This is why you hear the phrase, "Term insurance and invest the rest." 

Just the fact's ma'am, no "I feel your pain" or "I'm sorry but." or "expenses have increased".When making a big raise to people we want to keep (inherited, repositioning what have you) we have tried to matter of factly let them know in advance of our plans and use the magic phrase "nothing will change without notice". 

The question about price could be phrased "what do you need" not want.

Example: "I buy houses" or "We buy houses", which phrase would makes a potential client feel more comfortable?
