Convincing probate attorney to short sale

Any advice on trying to convince a court ordered administrator to sell a home in probate via short sale?

It seems they would all prefer to let home go to foreclosure auction.

Even if you convince the probate it doesn’t mean the lender will accept it


If you prequalify the seller properly, you'll get it approved. PLus, you have to know what you're doing. Short sales are rife with issues and if you have not done many, you will have problems. I've closed over 3200 with a 99% closing rate and the reason for my success is that I only take on clients who qualify and show me that they are 100% on board and in it to win it. if the seller is lazy, half-hearted, and doesn't care, it's a waste of my time and theirs.
