We have bought and sold so many homes over the years, and to just look at a property, we never had to show proof of funds just to view it. We can understand it if you are making an offer, but to just look at a property. They are horrible to work with. I looked up the law and it said: Summary of Legal Requirements No, New York State law does not explicitly mandate that a realtor must obtain identification or proof of funds from a buyer before showing a property. I know someone else told me they had problems with this realtor in the past too. Anyway, you may want to use someone else, I found them to be completely impossible to go to see a property that they show as the listing agent. I don't think they want to drive around their whole large selling district. Anyway, their loss. We will just use someone else who is more user friendly and serious in selling a property for someone by showing it to us as potential buyers.

What some realtors also do in this area is that they do not list the public area attractions so they can lower the value. For instance, if you go to Captain's Cove, Virginia online listings that area often lists the private and public attraction areas nearby like gym, swimming pools, marinas, etc. In Upstate, NY, like Oneonta, NY, realtors often do not list the nearby public swimming areas, YMCA, 2 colleges/universities, several parks, etc. They do not do any marketing, and sometimes lower property values by doing that. The small village I live in has several attractions, so I would find Benson Agency that has an office about 20 minutes from where I am substandard.

Because I have a mortgage on my little seasonal cabin in the Catskills, I am required to have flood…read moreinsurance. Last year, FEMA and NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) sent a letter saying they would not renew our flood insurance at the "discounted" rate (of over $800 btw). AND - they required that we hire a surveyor at our own expense to get a Flood Elevation Certificate before they would quote us a new rate. I called around and of the area surveyors who actually answer the phone or call back (not that many!), I found Lawson to be the most prompt, responsive and fairly priced, throughout the confusing FEMA process (many back and forth requests from FEMA...). John Jamieson is the surveyor I work with, and he is very professional and personable. I am grateful to them for helping me through the circus that is the FEMA NFIP system. The only reason they get a 4 and not a 5 is that we're not finished yet, and it's been a year-long process, with some breaks for local Flood Mapping approval etc etc...

The man or woman cave which is a glorified large shed also in need of dramatic care the full car garage was probably better built than the house.
