Diffcult time with listing agent that list short sale property
why are they hard to reach out and not motivate at all ?i dont even get chance to present my offer and the deals already shows subject to bank approval.what should i do, sometimes i get back something owner has accpet the offer and now just wait for bank approval .... this happens to me almost 80% of the time i see a short sale.what should i do in future with short sale deal, what is the safest way to present my offer to avoid listing agent kill my deal?thank you

Do you have your own agent? If not get one.
Also, as time goes by, the chances of a short sale actually going through become less and less. Bank's are not motivated to take a loss on the short sale side these days. I no longer bother trying to buy them...and as an agent, I do not write offers for them, or list them anymore since doing so is a waste of time.
