Fort Collins Short Sales: Who is in charge during a short sale?

Owner is the legal entity and sell the property.  Only thing the bank can do is agree or disagree with the sale.

I need to disagree here.  Although it is not the lender who puts the short sale home UP for sale... it is the lender who has the final say as far as whether or not an offer is accepted.  Without the lender's ok... the home does not sell.  And, if that is the case... sooner or later it goes into foreclosure.  And when happens... yes, it IS then the lender who puts it up for sale.

So, although the seller... in the case of short sales... initiates the Short Sale process... it is the lender who has the final say.  Therefore... it is the lender who is really in charge.

If the lender does not want to sell the property at a certain price, there is nothing the seller can do about it.  That being the case... the seller is most certainly not "in charge."

Rob, short sales are so complicated, it pays to hire or use an experienced short sale agent!   Great info!
