When a short sale is not accepted what is the next best option ?

Try to get the purchaser to increase his offered price which will result in less of a shortage to the lender; or offer extra funds from your pocket to minimize the lender's loss; or wait for a better offer from another buyer.

In the end they don't have to accept a short sale ( I often think some are crazy for not doing it) I have a real estate license but don't do a lot with it, but have helped with about 10 short sale offers in the past 4 months, not a single one was accepted, a few were less than 5000 short, one was only 3000 short. The lender told me personally they would rather foreclose than accept the short sale, they said they could always sell it thierself latter.
