Living in South Carolina and trying to sell a house (probate) in California over the phone, I expected some monumental problems or at least some conflict of promises. Your staff sent me the contract to buy the house “as-is” and the process moved to the escrow company for completion with little or no pain. I felt the price was fair and consistent with the condition of the house. I wish more things in life would be this pleasant.
