Will they tell you what they did to seal it and how they keep it looking good?
The quality of granite does make a difference, even (or especially) in the amount of radon it gives off. Avoid granite from third-world countries. Be sure you know exactly where your granite is coming from.
If the sale of our condo goes through (knock on wood), our first project as frogs will be installing granite countertops in our TV home. I will be looking for recommendations for both material and installation.
We have Italian granite up here in MI and have never, ever had a problem with water stains, or any other kind of stains. Get water on it all the time, and DH especially is loathe to wipe it up. I sealed it once in 2007, and it's a piece of cake to maintain.
And yes, the tiny pits are characteristic of granite.
