In addition to the countless documents that the seller has to produce to prove the problem to the lender. But, as I pointed out in my post, it sure beats foreclosure. Kudos to your agent for helping you out during a difficult time.

It's definitely not an easy process by any means. Even once I had a offer on the house, it still took nearly 3 months to finally close the deal. I was lucky and had a real estate agent with alot of short sale experience so that helped a ton. I think doing the short sale was a good move though, but I started the process early and had good support. Good luck to anyone facing a short sale, make sure you have someone (family, friends, etc) that you can share your thoughts and frustrations with. Regards, DK I short sold my home earlier this year.
