As an agent I see it all the time ..approved short sale in listing remarks in an active short sale listing. Yet, my broker insists that a short sale that is currently on the market and not under contract cannot possibly be approved. Even if the bank had given approval on a prior offer that fell through. This is because approval was only granted for that one offer. Any other offer that comes in will need to be re-approved by the bank. So what is the correct terminology for a short sale that has gone through the approval process where a price has been approved in writing by the bank, but the buyer cannot proceed with the transaction for some reason. It then gets actively marketed again as price oked by bank previously but not approved? What would you put in the remarks to convey this? Doe... 12/07/2011

If I did not live in Reston, Virginia, there is a pretty good chance I would live in Leesburg, Virginia. For years, my children attended school in Leesburg, VA and I got a pretty good sense of the wonderful community of Leesburg. It has a great downtown area and some of the most beautiful old homes in the area (I have always wanted one of those great old homes!). If you work in the District, living in Leesburg is not for the feint of heart. The commutes can be long, but there is bus service, the Dulles Greenway, and, if all goes according to plan, eventually a metro line. There is, however, plenty of job opportunity within Loudoun County and Fairfax County, one of Loudoun's neighboring counties. But you don't have to live in Leesburg to enjoy all the great stores and restaurants.  I oft... 12/02/2011
