Resolution
Just got word that Chase has reconsidered and will accept the short sale offer "as is" and
NOT require a promissary note.
Now I just have to hope that the buyer does not back out for some reason. However my Realtor tells me that the buyer has remained very interested and has been willing to wait. I just hope escrow closes without any further issues. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you for the help and support. I hope others have satisfactory results as well.
Cheers,
Ima
