Short sales aren't so short

The place in Bridgeport has a whole mess of things wrong with it. The sellers can't accept anything less than the asking price because that is their mortgage. So I've decided to put in an offer of less and we're going to try to make the sale as a short sale. I think the 'short' part of a short sale just means that less money is going be exchanged. A short sale can take up to 4 months, so it's not a short process. My brother is going to be acting on my behalf because I leave on Tuesday for Australia and won't be back until the end of July. Hopefully everything will be okay. I'm leaving a lot of things, and I feel a little guilty about leaving volleyball, basketball, and softball, but this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. Kerry is going and she was going alone, so what better time than to accompany a friend?
