Google earth and google street view is great but it doesn't show you real time dataIf I have someone offering on my listing and they are un represented and they do not want to be represented by the listing agent or a buyers agent I know for a fact that my client will get the better end of the deal in this real estate transaction.

They'll likely want you to use the money you're making on the sale of the lot to partially pay down the remaining mortgage since it will be for a smaller remaining amount of property which makes sense to me from their point of view. 

You should view what they tell you as guidance only.
