Sure, they don't want to waste their time if you are already working with another Realtor or have not talked to someone about a mortgage to see what you qualify for.

Moving and Relocation: "Eminent Domain" On The March
Published by Real Estate Pro.Found via Daily KOS : Florida developers are using "eminent domain" to kick homeowners out in favor of expensive new condos.

The bank ends up owning you, and the state ends up owning your home.
