One exception to that would be if the trustee sale or foreclosure for the subject property is within 1-5 days, then consider urgency more prudent.   

This game has a lot moving parts - it's not rocket science but it does require strong sense of logistics and a strong sense of urgency.

Currently, the only urgency on either side is to agree to a deal that makes sense to both parties.

what was the urgency in selling it in one day , because from what we know - it was not even listed initially . so if it was not urgent , why would the agent not want to list it for more time .

@Trevor Murphy  I would rank urgency of paying down margin in relation to how much of your margin is being used and how much you have left.  

He must have sensed your urgency.

(you have made the seller say they want to move fast several times, this builds urgency) ````````````````````````````````````````````note: to all you professional salespeople out there this might be very difficult to do, it sounds like you're not being very attentive and you not listening very carefully, but if you use this technique to draw the seller out, and get the truth from them, especially finding out the real urgency, you have much more success, because many people in a negotiation will "hide their cards" and not tell you the truth.In further postings I'll go through how to "knock out other choices" like listing it with another real estate agent or property manager or FSBO.

There's an old saying that if you have a parachute (read as 'day job'), you'll use it...meaning having a day job may take away the urgency that is often so helpful in FORCING us to succeed in this crazy RE world.

Not sure I would have had that sense of urgency if I hadn't done that.  

Especially someone who is already pressuring you with urgency.
