How long does a seller's bank take to approve the short sale of a preforeclosure house?

Question

It can be very frustrating to the buyer who already has his loan ready to close and is on the contract to buy that house. What would you advise that buyer to do?

Answer 1

Work through your attorney. Have your attorney call the Seller's attorney and pressure them to call the bank's attorney.

Would it surprise you to learn that an attorney can get another attorney on the phone a lot faster than non-attorneys can? It's true.
