short sale approaching foreclosure

[Stephen Gathman]

Hi. I am trying to purchase a short sale that we found out will go to foreclosure on April 6. The BPO has been done about 1 1/2 weeks ago, so it is on the negotiator's desk.
Will the approaching foreclosure date serve as motivation for them to respond to my offer quickly? Are there any tactics that we should use to help? I am using a realtor. They won't tell my realtor the bpo amount.
Thanks in advance.
