So, let's review.  The lender is about ready to take a loss on the property.  And, the lender has agreed to do so only if they have the right to approve the sale and the contractual terms.  As a former banker and a broker, there is no way that a short-sale lender is going to take a chance on having a "maybe buyer."  The contract will not be assignable under this scenario.  It's not worth kicking those tires.
