In the standard Texas sales contract there is a clause stating that the seller does not know of any outstanding permits or deficiencies-- I assume it's similar for most states. 

There are lies, damn lies, and government statistics.

Account Closed's write up is outstanding.

(staging, property management, real estate sales, flipping) In flips and apartment remodels, I have found that often it doesn't cost anymore to make something look "outstanding" rather than "ok" just by choosing flooring and paint colors that ***really*** work together.

I smell a law suit coming.I wouldn't say to never waive inspections, but there better be a damn good reason.

Do your best to be flexible and serve your guests well.15) Find an outstanding property cleaner/care-taker and treat him/her well!  

Can I says that an outstanding agent in a so-so office is definitely better than an average agent in a renowned office?
