Allegedly they saw violence next door and also had a gun pointed at them.  

Even custom cabinet boxes are made cheaply anymore.You can easily add soft close door dampers for $2 each cabinet to upgrade (search Amazon for these).

I can't count the number of foreclosure sales I've attended that had short sales under agreement, short sale approved, just waiting to close and the bank slammed the door on it with a foreclosure.Because MA is a non-judicial foreclosure state and the banks are not required to disclose anything about the pending foreclosure, other than the public notice, it's nearly impossible for a short sale agent to know the status of a foreclosure and how much time they've got to get the deal done.
