short sales - realtors

[Vik Ari]

hi all,

i have been looking at purchasing short sale properties in my neighbourhood. when i see listings on MLS and speak to listing agents, i find that they are either very unaccomodating, dont return calls, always say they have other offers and there is no use for me to put in an offer now..etc..

i am wondering why all this backlash. is it cause they have to work too much in a short sale and make very less commissions.

what would my strategy be here.
