Ask point blank.

I don't use Clist that much, although I had some scrapers developed and my VA does on occasion send out e-mails to the listings.

Love Venice B and visited often when I lived in So Cal on two different occasions.

We don't turn agents with buyers away (well, we have on occasion), but we tell them they can show it to their buyer but we consider their fee when we see it in the written offer they present so we can see the bottom line, and if they don't like that, then they don't have to show it.

Or connect with some of us who, ourselves, brew on occasion.

I would bring a blank contract so that if you and the seller come to agreement, you can formalize the deal right then and there.

I just wanted to add that on occasion I've been able to get some things done (out of the country) at a local military base.

When I was trying to write it I was blanking on wording.

I know I need a map, but right now the map I have is pretty blank.

I have on several occasions had a seller tell me to make an offer before they would provide me with the actual financials.
