And I'd recommend using an escrow service.
I'm not sure what you mean by the first bit. It could go either way.
And I'm sure you could do that. I do not care if one wishes to use an escrow service, but I am not interested in paying the fees. John is fine, but buyer would pay fees. My reputation can be found about the boards. I grow agitated with your comments in each of my posts stating the obvious "escrow should be considered". Really? I am certain that most reasonable people have that on their mind when considering any deal, whether they utilize one or not. So please.
