Its tough to argue with factual data.

I have no stake in this so don’t argue for or against them to me!

This makes it much harder to argue that your LLC is just you in disguise.

It's much easier to get a release signed.I had one in PA were the contract called for mandatory mediation.. so we did that. and like most of these deals we split the baby down the middle.. even though we were for sure due the whole 10k.. but usually as a seller I will offer to split it.. and that usually works.. out west as you say what happens here is if its not handled in a specific amount of time 6 months to a year.. the title / escrow company will interplead the funds to the court.. and then buyer and seller have to hire attorneys and argue in front of the judge.. so obviously no one win's in that scenario as most of the time cost of court and attorney is greater than the money being fought over.. that's why I like my win win.. just split it.. the one in PA those folks were kind of nuts and it was 10k.. so I get the mediation.

The property managers that argue this either want your business or want to sway the public opinion into needing them more than they ought.

I only do deeds, and personally I think it matters, but there are plenty of people at the sales and online that argue that they don't need to see them first before bidding. 

Could go a step further and also argue that it includes location measures.

For example, an LLC would be written as "ABC LLC, a Texas limited liability company, doing business as..."

I havent followed the other threads that have argued the merits of either strategy, but heres my reason for my choice.
