short sale saga continues

[LoveTrains]

I love the ridiculous updates I get on my short sale. The agent just called to say that the bank now has indicated that they do have the complete package of paperwork and we should have a decision by the end of the week.

Except that has been the update since mid-August.

Yeah, I think I told you this when you first put in the offer but I HATE the short sale process. We put in a few offers on short sales and they fell through. The problem is that I'd estimate 70% of listings in my area are short sales so if we want to buy we are likely going to have to go the same route you are. It sucks.

I hate short sales. The most annoying thing is that they are called that when they are the exact opposite.

I'm in the middle of a short sale, which was just transferred to another bank a few weeks ago... which, after six months, has basically re-started the whole process.

The update on ours is that our negotiator has left the company that holds our mortgage. Hopefully it was that person's fault nothing was moving, and the next person we are assigned will be better.
