I agree that we need a "watchdog" organization. The POA has done some really good work in the past.

As far as New versus Resale, we've bought twice in TV, both times resale. Once through MLS and once through VLS. Both times we closed without being in attendance and the process was beautifully streamlined.

I agree with those who think you get "more bang for your buck" with resales. And usually a much lower bond.
