Anyone buy a short sale? Did you call someone often? How did you move the process along?

My DH and I put an offer in on a short sale right before Thanksgiving. We have heard that the bank got preliminary approval but we keep hearing 2 weeks to close, 2 weeks... its so disheartening.

My RA has been good at calling the seller's agent 1 or 2 times a week,...but is there anyone else we should be calling? I am starting to think maybe we won't get it!

I know that a short sale takes a long time,... I get it! But, it seems like nothing is being done!!!

Any thoughts?!?
