Real Estate - Can we talk short-sales?

Also, don't let a pushy seller's agent rush you into anything. The few times this scenario played out with the buyers I was representing it turned out they were trying to prevent a home inspector from finding any issues with the property. The worst was this one house that seemed like a winner until the home inspector noticed the house wasn't tied into the street sewerage and water lines. The estimated cost to get the home tied in was about $70,000ish because they would have to dig up the street, break apart the foundation, pay for the pipes, and pay the town a fee to install.
