The fee, since it is a short sale, is probably related to a service for processing the short sale on behalf of the listing agent.If this fee is part of the purchase contract where you agreed to pay for title and closing costs, then you should contact the title company because they are required under RESPA to clearly describe any and all fees charged as part of closing.If you did not already agree to pay for the fee in advance, then call them on it.

Thank you in advance.

It's really not a trick, it's the old-fashioned necessity of having a partner, having your lender relationships set up in advance of finding the deals.

This is my first post, thank you in advance for any help.
