TIME IS MONEY

About 3 weeks ago, Heather and I put in a offer for one of our clients to buy a short sale. (A short sale occurs when the proceeds of a real estate sale fall short of the balance owed on the property) We still haven't heard whether or not the bank will take the deal. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED BY NOW!!!!!

Why can't banks work faster at selling these troubled properties. I've got a ready, willing, and able buyer who is looking to close right away. Shouldn't the banks be required to get their butts in gear and sell us these distressed properties? If it weren't such a pain in the rear, I'm sure I could round up a decent number of investors to buy these troubled properties. I need the government to step in and help me help my clients to help the economy.
