And this is why, when I bought my place last year, it was so easy! A bank owned condo, due to owner death with no relatives, on the market a year. Me, with the help of my parents, a cash buyer, wanting a quick close - we went from viewing to me moving in within 26 days! It was blissful and completely freaked out the realtor, who I am pretty sure tried to slow it down just because it SHOULD go slower!
