[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"I understand that sj has special needs and the value of what the property can do for her is important."
The value of what my FIST can do to your FACE is also important. [ETA: Hah! askye and I are on the exact same page!]
Seriously though--people pick houses for reasons all the time, they have X number of kids so they want Y bedrooms, or need a garage, or need a fenced backyard for the dogs, or whatever. Unless your house is SERIOUSLY unique (theirs isn't, right? It's just the best one you've found), that's not a justification.

Unless you've got, like, Paulie Walnuts the realtor who's saying you're a nice girl and he wouldn't want anything else of yours to get fucked up...so we're gonna make a nice deal, because, hey, accidents happen.(Man, I miss Paulie. I still want one. But I don't mean porn.) Or maybe some place with full modifications, which really is hard to find(although, even so, could do without the subtle waft of Calvin Klein's Extortion.)

What asshats. A lack of stairs isn't "special," nor is needing same. If they've got a connection to the floo network, then they can jack up the price.

No it's not unique. It just happens to have a garage large enough for a washer and dryer. I can't drag laundry up and down from the basement. Other houses have garages too, so that is not something I intend to overpay for. It's also slightly bigger than other ranches we have seen but not by much.

Not as important as what a lawyer specializing in ADA suits can do for YOU.

Ding ding ding, Toddson wins. Seriously, your needs, special or otherwise should have nothing to do with the other realtor at all.

honestly, that might be more of a fair-housing issue. (takes off advocate hat, brushes dust and lint off it
