As a result, they sometimes "check out" as a method of avoidance. But as you rightly put, it's to the seller's advantage to maintain optimism and forward momentum on the deal.

The best way as an agent to try and avoid this type of frustration is to contact the listing agent and really grill that person to see what their knowledge, experience, and what stage they are at with the short sale. Good post for sure. Yep, short sales can be difficult and stressfull from a buyers perspective.

The banks are not approving much of anything, even when the offer is for the actual listing price. I wrote 3 offers on short sales in the early fall, and only one of them came back with a counter, which was 10% above the price it was listed for in the MLS, and within 5K of a similar condo for sale non short sale and in good condition, and was not selling after 60 days on the market. That made it a total no sale. What are the banks thinking? We are finding in my area that short sales are a waist of time from the buyers perspective.
