Thanks for that…. my thoughts of the process were exactly along the lines of progression that you presented. What really concerned me were other facets not readily presented in my thread, the absence of the buyer asking for an NHD (which we would have to provide regardless) (but they specifically hand wrote in “waived”) and they did the same for the termite. I am also not a contractor but when I asked for a list of renovations they intended to do with the pricing estimates from the builder, the broker got pretty vague. The construction company was Marc Bell construction, may or may not be legit. It just smelled bad. I did indeed present the offer to the seller. His daughter in law is a broker up in L.A. and she didn’t want to have anything to do with it so she advised her father to pass on it. She called me and I told her I felt better that she passed on it as well.
