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.
