Short sales are a very interesting aspect of our business.   I would try but be prepared to wait for the bank.  It might take extra time to close the deal.  I wouldn't be afraid unless your buyers are in a tearing hurry.  Short sales are a way to get a property for a little less then market value.   I've been involved in a few.  Ask the listing agent
have you started negotiation-  If it is already negotiated it will be easy.Make sure the price is realistic and not a teaser - I just showed a home that was listed at $199K but the bank wouldn't take less then $240K.  I was pretty annoyed and might have lost the customer.Pull title early and make sure there are no liens -  If they are make sure they are negotiated awayCheck tax liens -  Those are much harder if not impossible to negotiate.Find out if the house is in foreclosure -  You can ask the listing agent.Be prepared to wait.You will need a funding letter and/or proof of funds (for cash buyers)Do not let your client spend money until the bank approves the shortsaleMake sure all dates of inspections etc are from bank ... more
