My Husband was the primary breadwinner. He was XXXX for the XXXX time XX/XX/XXXX. He died XX/XX/XXXX. By XX/XX/XXXX I realized I could not afford to keep the house and I listed the property with XXXX XXXX Properties for {$270000.00}. I had a full price offer within a day, but if fell through 2 days later. Shortly thereafter I had a XXXX offer in the {$260.00} 's. It also fell through quickly. XXXX XXXX made a bid of {$240000.00} XX/XX/XXXX but I needed to get {$260000.00} to break even. The {$260000.00} consisted of a XXXX and XXXX trust both the held by XXXX. Thereafter XXXX XXXX notified me on several occasions that we had received one or another verbal offer but none were above {$210000.00}. XX/XX/XXXX I asked XXXX XXXX to contact XXXX XXXX to see if she was still interested and might pursue the property as a short sale. I accepted her offer of {$240000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX subject to a short sale. I completed my short-sale paperwork and we submitted it through our short sale negotiator XXXX XXXX of XXXX & XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. By XX/XX/XXXX could no longer continue making payments. During the ensuing 5 months XXXX " lost '' the paperwork and we resubmitted it several times. XX/XX/XXXX I was notified that XXXX had sold the XXXX Trust to " SLS '' while retaining the XXXX trust. I resubmitted my paperwork to SLS. SLS sent XXXX appraisers to the property. The XX/XX/XXXX appraisal I was told was $ XXXX and the XXXX appraisal was for either {$270000.00} or {$280000.00}. XXXX figure was given to XXXX XXXX 's office and another To XXXX XXXX. No copy of either appraisal was ever provided to myself, or to XXXX XXXX, or to XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was informed that SLS would consider a dispute of the appraisal ( s ) and would respond with 5 days upon receipt. By this time my agent XXXX XXXX had announced his retirement effective XX/XX/XXXX and I hired XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX who put together a copious, highly detailed, XXXX with a value of {$230000.00}. It was submitted XX/XX/XXXX both by e-mail and by fax. Our 5-day appraisal dispute review period has come and gone with no response. In the meantime XXXX XXXX, my purchaser has withdrawn her offer.
