Made offer on short sale. How long it takes for seller to respond

[Sladurana Edina]

Hello everyone, quick question. I understand that the seller needs to accept the offer first, obviously. We made an offer 4 days ago and haven't heard back from our realtor. My question is: Is it usual on a short sale for the seller to take awhile to accept or counter? I've read some time lines and it seems for many the seller didn't accept for about a week. Thank you.

I have offered on a handful of short sale properties and I have always had my offers accepted by the sellers within a day or two.... Never did make it to a bank approval though
