It is however an introduction where you will be given the chance to sign up for a 15k mentorship program (25k if you want the deluxe).  

Also always follow up, even if at first they are dead set against your offer, make a point to follow up with them in few days or weeks or so because if they really are motivated and you had a good offer at first chances are that when other people either don't come knocking or come in with lower prices they'll warm up to the idea of you buying the house. 

My agent believes we would stand a good chance of getting sizable compensation to fix the plumbing problems at mediation level, without going to court.My agent has generously offered to represent me at mediation as I live out of state and the man is on genius level and really knows his stuff.
