@Ilan Friedman, if you search the forums here you will be able to find clients who will be happy to answer your questions about process and functionality of our company. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for carriers or how I should frame the functions of the business to the insurance agent?

While they both perform the same basic functions how they go about it is often much different.

The attorney functions as a transaction coordinator.

Fully furnished, fully decorated and fully functional.

I understand my own responsibility for upkeep and basic applications, but should i be responsible for the overall systems functions if I'm not aware of issues that could occur from past negligence?

If you use the search function, you will quickly find several threads about this company.

Is the thermostat functioning properly?
