Mom vs Realtor

My mom has a way of absolutely making me not want to do any of the little things in life: sweep/vacuum the floor, do my laundry, cook dinner, wash the dogs, pick up my mess, etc. BUT she can sure kick my ass into gear when I need to get on something important. The house talk with her has given me some objectives in a very confusing and lost process.

Objectives:
1- VISIT the HOUSE to check on work to be done such as:
A- Furnace/AC condition
B- Termite Damage
C- Roof work to be done (complete new roof??)
D- Septic and Well Condition
E- Electrical work

2- RESEARCH and get free estimates:
A- Heating specialists around town specializing in high efficiency and insulation costs
B- New kitchen floor (and sub-floor)
C- Get estimate for materials and labor on a new roof
D- Water testing
E- Electrician to test for a securely wired house (no fire-starters; no turn on hair dryer and
lose power to house; no flickering lights...)

3- VISIT the BANK to:
A- Let them know of our interest in the house
B- Let them see our financial plans for renovation completion
C- Make offer contingent upon their approval AND inspection
