All my listing leads come from marketing to distressed home owners, I show up for all of my appointments in my 2005 Cobalt or 2001 Silverado for listings and purchases and for listings my pitch is: A good agent communicates with all parties timely, answers their phone or calls back quickly, follows up with every buyers agent that looks at the house, and does what marketing is necessary.

Why don't you get a 3rd party GC to look at what he did and let the GC tell you what his charge would be for what he did, and it should not be the base what you think he deserves but the right thing?

If the contract is legal and valid, and both parties sign, you have a binding agreement.

Business is all about creating a win-win for the parties involved.

Gotta go pick up food for my daughter's class Christmas Party, then pick wifey up to go there.

It tends to give an opportunity for all parties involved to learn from one another.

CT states I MUST hire an attorney as I cannot represent a 3rd party.

The action of including all parties (B and all M's) is called "joining".

Also, get it insured with a construction policy or liability, next to some university, wow, party house.

The only way to get money that you don't have is to share the deal in some manner, the lowest cost will be private parties who want to beat the rate of CDs or their securities portfolio. :)
