January 2007 – local client makes offer on a home that they have always admired that is now on the market as a short sale.  They make an offer knowing that it may take several months but they don’t have to sell their current home in order to purchase.  Every week I call the agent for an update and of course get no news.  Every month we send an addendum to keep the offer current.  On July 18 I receive a report of the homes that are currently going to the courthouse steps.  Low and behold I see the address of this property with a date of July 16.  I call the agent again and she says that is not correct but last week I get a call from her stating that the second lender will not accept a short sale and property will now go to Trustee’s sale on August 13, she has no more information.  The last recorded document was that the sale was to take place on 7/16 but no one is sure if it went through or not.  Client is still insisting on purchasing the house.  Where do we go from here?
