What should our conversation look like as far as expectations when I take possession of the property in a couple weeks?

Find properties you are interested in and then analyze them and start a conversation with the broker.  

Hi Lisa, I'm a little late to the conversation but wanted to add a few things.

Document everything, including all conversations with her.

I met him and had a conversation with him, he's not a phony person, nor does he want to steal anyones money.  

I don't get into deep conversations with people who aren't interested or are nay-sayers.

Finally the time has come to enjoy the fruits of my harvest and, just like that, after a 5 minutes conversation, all has vanished.As you can tell, I'm still licking my wounds.

. :)  EDITED: I also see I'm way behind in the conversation, sorry about that, and I agree with most, it's what the value add really is, but many think they are much more valuable than they really are.

Personally, I would just stop that conversation where it is and delete her comments from the thread.

You run your own business and do what you want, when you want, where you want.If you want to know a little more than I can type in a single message, I'd be happy to talk over PM or have a conversation over the phone with you and your wife :)
