My lawyer is hoping to argue that against them but it seems like the most likely route is settlement, which means I'm paying thousands of dollars for nothing.

What they don't understand is that could be costing them thousands of dollars on the sale. 

btw, dont listed to any "guru" who say you can furnish for a couple thousand- that is a load of bull. 

Even if I were found guilty, the cost would be in the thousands, not in the millions.

Just a note for you since I was just talking to a client about this: if you live in a high-income state or have privacy concerns and are living the digital nomad lifestyle, south Dakota has an interesting residency status program that can potentially save you guys 10s of thousands on income tax and have great anonymity. 

Even if I were found guilty, the cost would be in the thousands, not in the millions.

One mistake can cost tens of thousands.

Ive seen a title company say the wrong thing to the wrong person because they werent familiar with the personaility dynamics of the sellers of a property and it ruined the deal.

It's not sexy, and 24-year-olds would rather spend thousands listening to a YouTuber who promises secret shortcuts that tickle their ears. 

Just because you personally don’t see the value in an event like this doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial for thousands of others.
