OMG>.I am so sick of this...everytime in the past month that I initiate a ss in Equator it gets declined because Non Arms Length -the short sale transaction is no longer being reviewed because the buyer and seller are related....the relationship is between the buyer and listing agent..not the buyer and seller..I have tried to the point of no return explaining this to them..and the crazy part is the listing agents name is right on the signed purchase agreement along with the buyers and the buyers Certificate of Organization..everything is out there for BOA to see......good grief!!!  Now I have to redo the purchase agreement and put a different listing agents name on it...this is so stupid...anyone else have this problem and been able to fix it without assigned a new listing agent..realtors by property all the time...the rule is that the seller and buyer cannot be related...thoughts?
