Resurrecting an old short sale

[Jerry R.]

I was contacted by a home owner who is getting close to foreclosure and asked if I could help.

He had it listed with an agent who submitted all the short sale information a long time ago. Basically the agent gave up and it sounds like he has not heard from the agent in over 6 months. Now it sounds like it's getting down to the wire.

At this point what type of cooperation can I expect from the lender? Will I have to start from scratch or will the existing short sale packet be available to me. I can bring a new agent to the table and hire a negotiator if I need to.

Any insight on this is very much appreciated.
