The question I would ask you is why submit this if the buyer is not willing to commit? Short sales get approved when a serious seller and a serious buyer go under contract at a reasonable price and both parties allow time to get the deal approved and closed. In my opinion anything less than this is a waste of everybody's time and clogs up the system.

I know but my seller just wants to find out it the bank is wiling to accept the offer on her loan. She is planning on paying off the first and complete a short sale on the second. The first and second loan is with the same bank. Thanks for your thoughts on this.
I have always submitted a contract when completing a short sale package so that this will let the buyer commit to the deal.

As a buyer it would seem to me the reason I am impatient would be due to another deal or not enough equity in the one you are offering to your buyer. If both sides are not willing to commit to the agreed number then walk away you save time and passion on this deal there are just to many out there. When the lender starts feeling the affects of this market they will bend they are bending now!! Take your time and do other deals put that on the back burner
