[quote=briansd1] . . . I don’t know BG, a (distressed) seller is just as “real” as any other seller. . .[/quote] (clarification added)
I beg to differ, brian.
A “distressed” seller does not have the authority to truly “accept” an offer and put “their” property into escrow.
A “real” seller does.
There is a vast difference here, not only in the probable condition of the property in question, but in the ease, timeliness and straightforwardness of the transaction itself.
