@Scott Morongell Thank you for your response and thank you for your kind offer.

@John Leavelle Thank you for the response.

Appreciate the productive response 

Thank you very much for your responses; very helpful.

The broker is responsible for every agent in their office and every agent’s actions. 

Does this essentially mean at some point I'll be responsible for unpaid util bills? 

@Matt M.Care to explain your response?

Thanks for your responses.

I just feel like it wouldn’t be a very responsible decision if you couldn’t  reasonably afford the place without renters.

In the meantime, I had a bad experience with a local (Seattle area) custom cabinet maker so I'd love some recommendations on folks who do high quality work, but are reasonably priced and responsive.
