Thread: Short sale favoritism

i have been living in a condo for 11 years that is going throug a short sale, and would like to purchase the property. there was supposedly an all cash offer made of 67,000.00 so my mother made an offer of 69,000 that was pre approved. the realtor at that time said she wasnt accepting any more offers cause it was a done deal. then i heard that the bank counter offered the other persons 67,000 offer and said they would accept 88,900.00 probably cause another property exactly like this one just sold for that price. i also heard that that same person accepted the counter offer. i then got a phone call from his realtor asking me if it were alright for them to come over and discuss rent and a deposit. during the conversation he tells me that he is putting down 15% and that if i wouldnt be paying 1100.00 rent that the numbers wouldnt work for him, the average rent for this place is 850.00 he then began to take pictures of the condition of the property, telling me that he was going to go back to the bank and show them the pictures and pull his agreement to the 88,900 price and go back to his 67,000 offer but ishowing the bank that it wasnt a comparable to the other that went for 88,900 because it was in much nicer shape. he then ask me what my mothers offer was so i said 69,000. later i heard that he went in and made an offer of 70,000 so ifeel his only intensions were to come into my house and take pictures so that he could save 18,900 at that time i had my mother make a 72,000 preapproved offer and again the realtor said that until the other person pulls his all cash offer she is not accepting any other offers even if we were to offer 200,000.00 she said she wouldnt go with our offer cause she doesnt think that the bank will approve my moms loan once they do an appraisal. but her loan is preapproved. does some one know who i can call to get some advise.. by the way i am a paraplegic and lived here for 11 years, if that matters. thank you and the bank is wachovia
