It was stated that if you were a licensed RE Agent you are ALLOWED to engage in the practice (with disclosure) while, being unlicensed, you are not (fair or not, the NAR is a powerful lobby).  

I am very fair and forgiving (too much so my wife says) but don't give in to crud like this.  

I'm just not sure it is worth the investment if everything still works.The home is 2,400 sq ft and has been fairly well maintained.

However, with that said, I would try to get something for the fridge as a reduction or something else as a bargaining chip.

4% of the assessed fair market value for each property? 

Since its a fair distance from my place, I may sell it in few years time.

At least you'll have a fairly short (but targeted) list to work through.  

Hi all,I am fairly new to the BP community.  

I live in FL so I know about having to use A\C year round.As you know people mention a brand and price but not model which will ultimately determine the total cost.I was in the exact same situation and due to the rusted coil tubing, and overall condition of the Air Handler decided for a total A\C replacement.Payne is considered "Builders Grade" lowest grade and some A\C guys argue not to install them because it reflects on their reputation when you have problems with the system.Look for the highest seer rated, quietest, best warranty HVAC that is fairly priced.The installer is a HUGE part of the HVAC's life span, along with your regular changing filters, cleaning coils when needed, cleaning drain lines and vacuuming dust out of the Air Handler Cabinet.
