Where are you; Iraq???

I live in rural east Tennessee near the cockfighting, moonshining, and marijuana growing sections and I've never been shot at or threatened by any of the local bad boys.

duediligence - are you from Vermont??? LOL My broker is from NY&NJ, and she is simply stunned by some of her 'encounters' up here. We went out this dirt road to locate a new listing and she just could not believe that those were Bullet Holes in the road signs! VT is a free to carry state, so we are met with hostile homwoners all the time. Never heard of one getting shot though...... lawyers, sure, but not realtors..... *G*

It's not like Iraq around here; a little rednecky but whatever- after 16 years out here I'm a little rednecky myself with my pickup truck and safe full of guns. But I'm talking more about the general sense of how things are done, and not wanting to upset people ESPECIALLY the person most likely to be there when I came by, who would statistically be a woman. If you live out in the sticks it can be creepy having someone come down your driveway.

So I guess I don't see how I could hand-deliver them. I don't THINK I'm copping out... it honestly seems just contrary to local custom. Like I'd do more harm than good.

sheesh some people just won't let others earn a buck

I went out of my comfort zone today no firecrackers or anything, but I didn't have a package all pre made up instead I knocked on a FSBO door introduced myself and handed my card and asked to preview. I was invited in.....the saga continues
