It was prophetic that someone mentioned insurance today.  I thought 
everything was set for a closing but late in the day we heard that the 
buyers were having trouble getting insurance.  We are in a fire zone but I 
have cut the brush way back beyond CDF recommendations.  And the two brush 
fires we had cleared out the underbrush.  Besides there was no damage 
during any of those fires.  Our real estate agents have gone beyond the 
call since the selling agent seems to be doing nothing.  They have been the 
ones to secure financing and today convinced an insurance company to cover 
the house.  Massive incompetence by the selling agent and the escrow office 
have been more than countered by the extreme capabilities of our agents.
