The Vernon Hill model is very much centered around customer-service.And I've updated my profile with my current location of West Orange, NJ.

Vista is a newer company but have amazing customer service I only worked with them once, but see a lot of promise with them. 

Contact DTE energy to setup another meter. 

They only provide legal advise to the realtor member, not the customer. 

Hey @Jean Tranquille - I love the energy you're bringing to the table! 

Instead of cash we got custom features added to the house such as a sliding barn door to one of the rooms.

The first real estate designation I would get is the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR).Topics include:Buyer RepresentationUnderstanding Types of Agency RelationshipsCreating an Agency RelationshipClient and Customer Relationships, Duties, and ResponsibilitiesHow We Work with BuyersBuyer ServicesThe Buyer Counseling SessionOffers and NegotiationsBuilding a Buyer Representation BusinessI am also an Instructor for the National Association of Realtors as well as the National Association of Home Builders, so if you can't find that close locally, I would be glad to come teach it if we could find sponsors (i.e. a large brokerage, mortgage or title company, etc.)

Thank you all for your time and energy!

I personally havent used a GC before but I have looked, and you have a lot lower chance of getting burned if your contractor has a good reputation, lots of reviews, references, satisfied customers etc. 

The project should be completed by end-of-year but they no longer want to complete it (time/energy).
