Question
Good Day i want to sell my house and relocate to a different state my water bill is super ridicoulsly high from a bad leak i can not pay it off to high how can i still sell or should i ask can i still sell i have a payment agreement but it will take to long too high

Answer
Very simple, Gail. This is what I would do: Talk with the water company. They no doubt would arrange with you to have you pay the bill upon you selling your house. In the meantime, have a plumber fix that leak so your bill doesn't keep climbing. It seems to me you should have done this a long time ago. A good plumber is not that expensive, at least not as much as all that water you allowed to leak. I do wish you well.

Expertise

With more than 41 years as a real estate broker, I can solve most any problem presented. If I can`t, I do my research. Problems with mortgages, trust deeds, foreclosures, odd ways of conveying titles. Most any good Realtor can answer questions satisfactorily, but I answer questions that most cannot. Also, ask about my hard-copy newsletter, The Landed Gentry. It can also be sent to you via PDF.
