Technique is to overwhelm you with the amount of verbiage he produces - think Cliff Clavern on CheersThe Fighter - States a controversial position, then goes into attack mode at anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with his position.

GFC was due to naive/lazy nurses/teachers/cops/fire-fighters and anyone else with a pension, not deploying any Due Diligence and just letting their greedy pension managers get billions in fees to invest in crap MBS and synthetic CDOs, all else by banking and ratings agencies and real estate investors just followed like trigger/hammer/powder/bullet down the pipe.

By definition an egress window must allow free passage through the window, when opened for a fire fighter fully equipped including with air tank. 

Thanks, Tommy  Hello Tommy,I was Navy Fire Fighter for 7 years.

If you are a fire fighter, my first instinct is to leverage that day job into helping you reach your goals. 

I have, though, in the past provided discounts (in renting and in selling) to vets and civil servants (fire fighters, police, etc.) which I perceive to give a more positive impression. 

Which I know from being in other business that that does not look good to clients if I have to cancel showing or if I don’t show for showing and pay someone else to show my house I think you can pull it off as long as you set expectations properly with clients upfront and especially if you’re working with people you already know, like other fire fighters for example will be fine with your unpredictable schedule.

Everyone in this industry knows that I am a fighter when it comes to protecting my clients.

I'm a little nervous since she is the one who owned the home before and defaulted on her taxes and has yet to move out...that tells me she is going to be a fighter.

But you have to see yourself as a boxer/UFC fighter looking to get a TKO over your opponent, as opposed to thinking that doing short sales is about finding correct comps.
