If you don't feel comfortable working with highly stressed people and making them feel comfortable enough to trust you to help them, then there are other ways to handle real estate that require less human contact.Btw, I put peanuts in my envelope along with a postcard they can put on their fridge that says "you'd be nuts not to let us help" on one side and our information on the other.

PM me and I can refer you to several who handle real estate transactions and landlord/tenant law.And congratulations on your purchase-I think

Quote from @Jake Handler: Looking to speak with someone who has personally been involved with a deal where the buyer assumed the loan. 

That sounds great Shane, I will be coming down there at the end of January so I still have some time.I am a Active Duty member of the AF and I'm a K9 handler so we tend to move often.
