Marie Poe:That would be a good reason to remove the short sale contingency.You still have the issue that when the original closing date comes up and the still hasn't gotten around to looking at the file, the seller won't be able to extend the closing date...as they tend to need to do about 95% of the time...Unless the seller is perfectly happy to sell high enough to pay off the mortgage, I see no reason to do this.

. , I agree w/ K Marie Poe.

Marie Poe - I actually am 100% in agreement with you.

@Marie Fries Thank you

Marie Poe and @Andrew Fingado are spot on.

Marie PoeDunno if you have a Floor n' Decor store where you are, but they carry a bamboo for $1.89/ft that is amazing.

Marie Poe is probably more versed in this than me, so heed her advice.
