FYI, I received an e-mail today from a BOA negotiator and he says that the process has been updated to process short sales faster. Below is his version of the process. It looks the same to me. But for those of you that didn't know, here it is:

Lastly, please be advised our process has changed in order to provide faster service. There are three different teams who will be handling your file.
Front-End (PHASE 1) - Collect all necessary documents and verify that we have a file ready for negotiation. Every investor is different and may require more or fewer documents that others.
Negotiation (PHASE 2) - Review offer, appraisal and HUD-1. They will be the team who decides to counter, decline or submit for approval.
Closing - If the offer is approved, it will go to a closing team member which will help carry the transaction from acceptance to closing.

Best of Luck All,
