Help! Short Sale Counter/Approval

[Jason Findley]

Hey Everyone,

This is my first short sale and I'm having trouble finding the answer to my question.

I made an offer on a short sale that was given to the lender. The lender recently did a bpo and the listing agent is saying he has a "worksheet" from the bank detailing some of his clients information and approval of a short sale that is $40,000 more than my offer.

The Listing agent is tell me he thinks there is wiggle room here, however should I be able to see the banks approval amount in writing before I agree to increase my offer?

Thanks!
