Empty Pool

[Tim Hicks (Texas)]

What is so hard about asking the owner why the pool is empty and disclosing it in the report? We just report the facts, let the underwriters decide how they want it handled. Repair the pool, fill the pool, cover the pool, fill the pool with dirt. It makes no difference to me.

Please take this in the spirit it is intended!!!

Of course I will

Maybe I am taking/viewing this issue in the wrong way?? I thought that you (not you personally Liz) were either for disclosure or the empty pool or not. Is there a middle ground? Ask your client what to do. All of my clients lend their own money (i.e. no brokers) and would want to know if the pool is empty.

Frederick,

(I love your name!)

I agree with disclosure to the client....let them make the call on whether the pool needs filled or not.

My comments were only made with regards to if an empty pool is more or less dangerous than a full pool. (By the way, I am not a good swimmer so my opinion is likely biased).
