It works best when doing transactions with other people who have a smart phone so you can email the reciept to them while they are standing there and they can get it before leaving.

Did they leave the keys?

I have seen termites eat floor joists out to the very edge and leave the paint intact.

They did not put down security deposits (why do you think I got such a great deal on the short sale:)) and I want to convince them it is in their best interest to just leave.

Do not leave it up to the property owner.They might not confirm the fax went through to the bank,they might submit tot he wrong department,they might be using an old dirty fax machine where the transmission was garbled and the bank cannot read it etc.Make sure they sign the release EXACTLY as they signed the closing papers when they bought.I have had instances where unless the signature is exact as what they have on file for closing docs they will not release info.If someone married or they sold to someone else etc. you can explain that away it's just more steps.

Some use it sporadically , some rent it out and some leave it vacant and use the home very little.I have two couples like that within 100 yards of my own home.
