Are you at a loss for words with the Short Sale lender? Here are some questions to pose when you check in on your Short Sale transaction status. Even if you've asked some of these questions before, you may want to ask them again, and repeat certain questions on each call. Many times, you'll elicit a different answer or discover a problem that may help you get your approval more quickly.

2. Is anything missing from our package?

3. Has the loan been submitted as a short sale (or "referred" with Countrywide/Bank of America)?

16. Is the loan Fannie Mae, etc?

17. Is your company delegated (authority to make decision on approval)?
