Still have one more to go. BIGGEST energy saving resulted from turning off the pilot light in our gas fireplace. WOW! Big difference in propane consumption. I hope the line is clear so I can turn it back on for this fall/winter. UPDATE – I have installed one programmable thermostat. Still have one more to go.

Isn't the "managing broker" the person who makes sure that all the agents and brokers in the office properly execute all documents? Well, our seller's settlement attorney caught that the agent had initialed for her client on several pages. The attorney asked me to call agent and request a copy of her special power of attorney (Can you get one if you have a financial interest in the transaction?) AND purchaser properly acknowledge all changes and submit to us ASAP, or just have purchaser initial as necessary. I left the message for the MANAGING BROKER and let her know that I was calling because settlement ATTORNEY requested it. Managing broker called back and assured me that as agents we have limited power of attorney to act on our client's behalf! (I guess no client has ever changed their mind and disputed that she had permission to initial/sign to agree to changes?) Settlement is tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes!
