Patty, Call your Realtor, have him call the listing Agent immediately and tell him you are preparing an all cash transaction and you wishi to cancel the current offer and fax over the new offer ASAP! Show "proof of your cash" in the form of either letter from your banker, account statements (black out account numbers!) and then submit your offer. Is this a "short-sale" or a Bank Owned foreclosed property (REO)? If a short sale, they are probably going to keep letting the offers "stack-up" and submit to the lender when their "committee" meets. If an REO then the listing agent may just be waiting to get a hold of his lender to present. Lenders LOVE cash deals!! Especially when they are the Seller!! Are you an investor or owner occupant? Some lenders lean towards "home owners" and may, regardless of your offer, go with the prospective homeowner.
