This does, however, increase your urgency to sell the property within the 2 year window after your father's passing.If instead, your mother is past the IRC 121 window for any exemption and the capital gains are significant you can choose not to sell the property.

I'm jumping in here with layered curiosity and time sensitive URGENCY. 

Not to talk badly about the providers, I'm sure they were just matching the urgency of the market.

After the first bidder on the property went under contract and then fell through, we sensed the sellers urgency to close and were able to get our offer accepted after receiving appropriate concessions from the seller to make this a great deal.

The process of working with historical societies stinks when you have a profit motive and the society has no sense of urgency. 

Second, historically low mortgage rates have created a sense of urgency among Americans looking to purchase a home and lock-in those low rates.

Late fees are important as they create urgency in the renter to pay and can add some additional income while going through this kind of situation.

I've heard you can get better response rate by adding some urgency, is that true?

Very little urgency from them.In spite of all the work finally being done yesterday, I'm now being told their picture guy is out of office today and doesn't work weekends, so he's not going out until Monday, the 17th, at which point it will take them 2 more days to get the pictures to their marketing person.

I have mentioned the urgency of getting the property under contract, because for that low of a price a cash buyer could snatch it up at any moment.What do you guys think?
