Asking prices are important too, especially if there are current listings really nearby. I recently had one that I evaluated at 190k in the fall, but he was late getting it ready and I recommended 180 a little later because there were new comparable listings nearby, but with nicer bathrooms and floors.

He may be fine, but he may only work tuesdays and sundays too. It's your *house*, there are so many little details that can save YOU time, money and heartache. At the very least ask the guy for references, but better yet ask friends & colleagues for a recommendation. That's how hard work gets rewarded
