Also, refer them to a real estate attorney to back up any claims I've made, further shoring up the relationship.6) Should they ignore my letter I would approach them personally at an undetermined point-in-time (maybe a week?)

For many, the throne is the ultimate seat in the house where the most intimate feelings of home ownership is enjoyed.

This adds time to the process up front, but can save weeks, even months, in time later should a friend or relative of the tenant "move in" suddenly and claim they're legally residing in your property.

This all depends on the brokerage.The commission belongs to the brokerage and NOT the agent.In some states they just have brokers only but this is rare.So if the total commission to the brokerage is say 10,000 but the agreement with their agent is they only take a 300 trans fee and the agent keeps the rest (9,700) then it is not worth it for the brokerage to pursue you in time and court costs.The brokerage also doesn't want to soil their good name.Now if the split is say 50/50 with a brokerage instead of the 90/10 or per transaction and the brokerage keeps a larger chunk of the commission they might pursue the buyer for the commission owed.This is not legal advice just how a brokerage and principal broker (I am one) thinks about such issues.

That way I can make sure I'm on track, I can learn all the critical basics, and have all the plans and systems in place in time.

Now, just feet from the finish line our appraiser is not getting info back to us in time for our closing...its gonna be tight.

By the way, I make it my business to know my work area intimately, so I know without checking whether a deal is good or not.I keep track of asking prices and see how fast houses sell.

This is one of those places but not always is this forum found in time.
