Re: [BlindHandyMan] older homes - what to look for

[Scott Howell]

Betsy, you are correct and although I am sure he is generally an honest enough 
person, I know he has to make the sale and in these difficult market 
conditions, they will twist their own ethics to get what they want. I spoke to 
the gal that sold me my home and asked her to represent us if we decide to go 
forward. I however, might just pull my horns in and focus on other things for 
now. We are not in need of a new home, but this was one of those "Gee that 
would be cool" sort of situations and something we wanted to explore. There are 
a lot of attractive options here, but not having owned a home of this age, I 
wanted to see what others thought. So, it is nice being in a position where I 
can do something if I wanted to live on the edge or just sit tight and stash my 
cash. It feels good to have options and that has not always been the case. grin.
