Help the owner to find options to short sale!

[Xeniya McBroom]

I am a Real Estate Agent and Investor, so I am not just looking to short sale these people's house, so I can get the commission. That is what they said they wanted to do. But they don't have a good reason, in my opinion. They are not behind on their payments and don't have any hardship paying in the future. There's nothing wrong with the property - it is a beautiful 2006 built 5/3/3 with a pool, a spa,  and an outside kitchen - all the works! The only reason they want to move is they don't like their neighbors. They are upside down on their mortgage, but I don't now exactly by how much yet. Basically, a traditional sale would not work. Any ideas? Lease, lease option, owner finance? Pros and cons please. Thank you!
