Your thoughts? Mike has supposedly foun= a buyer, but he has told lies constantly & I don't trust him. 1= the wiser course to just pay the $60,000.00 and be done with it?

Key information from the email:

Trent aske= me to send you this information on the settlement.

Kranz orig=nally said $100,000 plus closing costs to be paid .% by Hardman and =C2 by you contingent on the short sale closing. We agreed to pay =60,000 now, but only if they released you whether or not the short sale cl=sed. Then the bank agreed to release you upon payment of the $60,000=now, without it being contingent on closing and they said they were not go=ng to release Hardman's guarantee. Now we get the letter tha= says they are not requiring a payment from Hardman and will release his g=arantee contingent on closing within 45 days. Otherwise the letter p=ovides that if the short sale falls through, the bank will proceed with th= foreclosure sale and no release of Hardman. The $60,000 from you is=for a full release now regardless of whether or not the short sale closes.=/SPAN>

The letter=indicates that the foreclosure sale will go through if the property does n=t close before January 12, 2012. In that case the buyer could bid th=ir offer at the foreclosure sale or negotiate with the bank after the fore=losure sale and the bank could still prosecute their case on the guarantee= against you and Hardman.

You indica=ed you wanted the matter resolved now and be done with it. If you wa=t to pay nothing now we can go back to Kranz and make that demand, but the= you would only be released if the short sale closes. Not too =ong ago they turned down your offer to settle for $100,000 to release your=guarantee only. The question at this point is whether it is worth th= payment of $60,000 to get your release guaranteed now or not.

Please adv=se how you want us to proceed.
