It is fine to answer her. I would answer her with the following statements. I would leave out the thanking her for paying the electric bill and I would leave out the part about telling her you would keep her updated. The rest is fine to email her. Good idea on telling her not to get in a rush about the back yard. Too early to panic on the yard and the tree. For all you know, someone may like the yard small and think it is fine. It also shows you are being decisive and thinking for yourself.

W, I think that’s a good idea to contact the agent about adding her name to the sign and adding the brochure box.
In my opinion I don’t think removing the tree will make the yard appear too much larger. Like the other homes in our neighborhood we have a small yard and there’s not much we can do about it. The house has only been for sale for a month and it will take time to sell it in this market. We haven’t had anyone who has been interested enough to make an offer yet. It’s early and the house will sell eventually. Overall the market is still slow but showing signs of improvement. Like the agent said, there isn’t much going on with the house to report.
