These are licensed and registered people and firms.According to the SEC and FINRA a "broker" is any person engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the account of others.Events or actions such as helping a company sell shares to raise capital, engaging in other activities like participating in presentations and negotiations, making recommendations to investors concerning securities, receiving transaction-based compensation (i.e. commissions or finder’s fees), and continuing or regular involvement in sales of securities are evidence of activities rendering a person a broker.The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.Finders can avoid registering as a broker by limiting their activities to:Introducing prospective investors to a company without engaging in negotiations.Not recommending the company’s securities to prospective investors.Basing their compensation on a flat fee that is not contingent on the closing of a securities sale.You can find most of this on line on the SEC website.

The flat paint tend to get things to stick to it kind of like flat paint on a car versus clear coats.If you are buying new cabinets where I am at they are pre-done.

I have a similar 1926 Spanish bungalow in LA (3bed 2 bath, 1300sqft, single level), that i just rebuilt completely, so here's my 2 cents1. with plumbing and sewer, make sure that you insect and assess the main drain line form house to street sewer - in houses of that age, they are cast iron and are often buried under a concrete driveway. if it needs to be replaced, make sure re-pavement of driveway is accounted for2. houses of that age have often started as 2bed 1bath and then somewhere along the way been converted to say 3/2 - mine was in the 70's. ask whoever inspecting the foundation to pay attention to the way it's laid out - variation in crawl-space hight, floor joists and different materials used for pillars that house sits on could point to an addition. flat roof over one of the bedrooms or bathrooms in an otherwise house with an attic is another sign it's been added. either way, check with the city that those additions are legal/permitted3. termite damage and dry rot in California and Arizona is a given - in any house, especially that old. as you walk around the rooms, stop in each corner of every room and jump up a few times - if the floor is soft and even a sign of weakness, i bet you you'll have to re-drywall, remove subfloor and repair floor joists in at lest half of that room. just a simple "poking wood for termites" test from the crawl space often misses that. i like my jumping test as well5. size and age of electrical panel - yes, but also age of main electrical wire runs is important. those are usually suspended in crawl spaces or laying on top of ceiling joists in the attic. old wire should be replaced as it's a potential fire-hazard surrounded by all the old fluffy insulation that's in old attics - speaking of fluffy insulation, i hear in some cases it could contain asbestos, so wouldn't hurt to checkfyi, just installed central air in my house and my best estimate - had 7 total - came through Costco at just under $7000 for a 3-ton Lennox system (heat and cool), all new ductwork, permit and inspections. curious as to what your HVAC bid was

Center height, with flat ceiling will be over 7.5 to 8 feet.

My policies are a flat amount cash policy, no replacement cost.

One thing you may want to consider is finding an agent that will offer you an hourly rate or a flat monthly fee.

They affect other things, though.Interactions on the internet are a separate science altogether.

They don't charge a flat rate for postage, they will actually only bill you what the usps charges with their bulk mail rates.

I probably misunderstood that aspect, fee appraisers are on a flat fee basis, it's the only way compensation is paid in this area and never heard of a commission basis.
