I've been really satisfied with their customer service, and my grandparents had a good experience when taking out a HELOC on their primary residence.

@Shaun Anderson Being a non US citizen, you are not allow to work IN US.Even collecting rent, repair or maintain your own property.You can however, hire & manage your property manager to manage your properties.So do not get caught with doing work yourself, you may get into trouble with the US custom & Immigration.

Specifically the 19-aughts, 1900-1910.I lived in a triple-decker built in 1904 with woodwork and finish detail you won't find in any non-custom home today.

Business minded service providers know the value of a repeat customers.

:-( The questions asked: No, No, No and NoAnd, from what you have mentioned, if you are correct, is this is no deal.No lender will allow a true loan assumption, release the previous borrower and not modify the note and not charge fees of do so financing 100% of your purchase, well, there could be cases, like if you had 500K in the bank they might for a special customer, who doesn't really need the loan, but in reality, no. :)

I've passed on a few names, but I didn't get involved so I have no idea what happened if anything.I realize`a "real" RELO thing would or could be a big deal, hard to organize, but seems too that more referrals could be made.Good thing about referrals is the third party influence, so long as the referring party has a good relationship with the one referred.Anyone referred customers to others out of your area?

Also, I personally prefer properties closer to main roads as its much safer not only for you, but for repeat customers. 

Wow, it always amazes me that agents and people try to get away with things especially when their business is managing clients expectations and customer relations.I had purchased a property not long ago at an adult community.

Validating an idea by talking through it with people, or even potential customers should be considered, even if its family or trusted acquaintances.

I guess what I was looking at were standard finishes; things that work for "modest" housing in developing urban neighborhoods that look nice but aren't custom or high-end at all.
