When the lender approves the short sale they will more than likely ask for a 30 day closing. We will NOT be waiting to find out if you are able to get financing that quickly or if at all! Bill, really great article. I've listed several short sales and fortunately they all closed, though I've always used a negotiator. I've taken offers for buyers on probably a dozen, and none of them have closed, mostly because the listing agent was trying to do it themselves. The investors who want to negotiate their own short sale purchases seem to have really come out of the woodwork lately, too. This year the only short sale I'm working on looks to be the first one listed by another agent that will actually close, Lucky 13. I made a conscious decision to avoid short sales this year and find myself the busiest I've been in 6 years, go figure. Anyway, thanks, your blog is fantastic.

Don't forget you are purchasing a home that is probably a pretty decent value. It is worth the wait! It clearly would not be in the best interest of the seller if a buyer bailed on the

I work hand in hand with a local short sale Real Estate attorney who knows how to get short sales to the closing table!. Having poor seller representation in a short sale is far worse than a traditional sale because the home owner is relying on this person to help them navigate out of a financially difficult time.

You could have a major problem on your hands if the short sale is not approved and then the buyer's will not vacate your home. I don't know where you are located but here in Massachusetts the tenant/landlord laws are totally slanted towards the tenant. This could create a huge problem trying to evict someone when you would need to gain access in order to sell. Thanks Petra! I know you get how short sale transactions work.

Many of them cut of their nose despite their face in thinking they are protecting the buyer when in fact they are increasing the likelihood the sale does not take place.
