Well this one was not easy. Sun Trust took 11 months to approve this Short Sale! Nine of those were
waiting on the file to be assigned to a negotiator. During this time we
lost 2 buyers and finally found one to stick.....I thought. About 3
weeks ago I received the approval to close. Even though I had
communicated with the Buyer's agent every week for the last 9 months I
found out a week before closing that the Buyer had changed his mind!!!

So....I had to place the property back on the market as an "approved short sale".

We needed a cash buyer that could close in 7 days at the full asking price. Luckily we found one.
Lolita' Clay from Exit Realty brought a full price cash Buyer and they
closed today. 3 days before the Short Sale approvals expired. Way to go
