You aren't responsible for anyone falling regardless of age or health conditions if you are not negligent in keeping your building safe, that is reasonably safe, not customized for any disability.One thing that elderly folks seem to like to do is complain about getting old on one hand and how self sufficient they are on the other.

Depends on the information given, if you are facilitating a sale or lease you're acting as an agent, if you just give info of where a house is and nothing to promote a transaction, then yes, it might be like selling leads or given a list of folks on the welcome wagon who just moved to town.

I am an entrepreneur and business-minded so I actually spent my time last year traveling the states (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Seattle, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago, New York) while promoting a clothing line I launched.
