Congratulations!  I am curious, though.  How long does it usually take to get a short sale approved by CW in Florida?  Here in Texas, the average is about 8 weeks.  I have 10 short sales pending with CW right now and they are all going along very smoothly with very few hurdles to jump.  I hope you guys are not having a lot of trouble with them.  It is a roller coaster ride!

Jeff - I will do!  I am hesitant to say they are getting their act together, but I had three very positive, quick responses/escalations in the last two weeks ....  We'll see!

Brenda - How about 4 months the norm?

Wendy, that is fabulous. It's great to hear of a success story with Countrywide! I'm sure it had something to do with the Realtor who listed the home (you)!
