Jeff would likely know some in London.As far as using an out of town lawyer to sign docs, you can do that all through fax or docusign in most cases.Most lawyers will give you a tough time about answering questions and working with cleaning up drafts, as it is their business and they deal with tons of tire kickers.

In Monopoly that's 3 green houses and one red house.

I asked her to allow me to do open house but she says she'll have to clean the house etc. etc.

Not sure if I'm going to fix it up and sell retail, or get it cleaned out and sell it as is.  

There is plenty of business to be had out there but it is a BIG struggle for the independent escrow to keep doors open, let alone stay in the green every month.I have always charged top tier pricing and rarely have a complaint because I do handle things that the average EO won't handle and my service far exceeds most EO's out there.

(but looks like you would for first month)...so back to your situation, which is not clean, but check your state rules and verify without the signed lease, you reverted to the month to month, so I would really document and communicate the end of June move out date (like verbal plus a follow up more formal looking letter) and prepare for the move out then and the painters, etc to come in..

I'm about as green as can be so I appreciate your knowledge and time. 

While it is great to be proactive, for a standard clean deal on a 1-4 unit property, you will probably be doing a standard homeowner type residential transaction, so you may not need much advice up front that (nothing you could not find online, like here on BP, or in books mentioned here and elsewhere).What would you ask them anyway?

Anyone know how to clean yellow brick?
