After two years of renting this lovely house its time to move out. It's been a great house, in a great neighborhood but (unfortunately) rented from a not-so-great company called "Remax Advantage - Summerlin". Probably not the worst rental company in the world, but certainly the worst that I've used over the last decade of renting since moving to USA. Any contact with them, leaves a sour taste from their unprofessional handling of all reported problems, ignoring phone calls, voicemails and never replying to emails unless its to demand timely payment of rent.
REMAX - Only interested in collecting rent. Not interested in maintaining the property:
I gave up reporting the problems we had in the house, because none of the issues were ever addressed. The only time Remax sent a handymen to fix the various issues - the handymen arrived, fixed one problem, looked at the others, promised to return with parts and left. Never to return.
Here is a copy of the letter I sent/voicemailed/emailed/mailed a dozen times when I first moved in back in 2018.
"I’ve had no response to my three emails reporting these problems, so I am resorting to mailing this letter.
Remax has never given me a move-in inspection and although there are no major problems with the house I do have number of smaller problems I would like to report: Lots of damage spots and problems like blown bulbs and rear yard electrical problems to report.

The morning after getting his SNIP on... I say 'neutered' but these American vets call it 'castration' which just sounds so much harder... ;) Either way, Bailey seems happy and unaffected by the Drama of it all.... good job!

Exploring Morris Island (just off the coast of South Carolina) on New Years Eve. We went with Captain Anton who runs tours called TIDELINE, he is a marine Biologist and taught the kids lots of interesting stuff about Sharks, Beach Life, Tidal Habitats and the history of the island and Lighthouse .... all of which was completely ignored by Finney when he found a dead Pelican and decided that its half rotten skull was the coolest thing ever and he wanted to take it home. :)

Purge Baby Purge!
The laxative juice tastes better with Gatorade rather than water... and it has a rather quick effect (within the hour). Stay close to the Throne Room, when you body says "I think I need to go" it actually means "I NEED TO GO RIGHT NOW" :)
