I have a short sale in California with Morgan Stanley holding the frist loan, there are no other loans.  I am one of 3 other condos in the complex for sale at this time. After 2 months of marketing we finally got an offer and settled at a price. An interior BPO was done and the agent doing the BPO hinted that the value came in at the sales price.  Morgan Stanely refused to accept the negotiated sale price which was about $35,000 below the list price.  Consequently the buyer walked from the offer and we are now back on the market at the list price Morgan Stanely has said they will take.  The problem is that we are very sure that we are not going to be able to get the price Morgan Staney has agreed to and the negotiator for Morgan Stanely has told me that they will not go down on price.  Has anyone had a similar experience with Morgan Stanely and, if so has anyone had success closing short sales with them?
