Real Estate - Can we talk short-sales?

Never pursued a short sale, but after talking with my agent after buying a house a year ago, the only thing it sounds like you can have when attempting to buy a short sale is a lot of time. If you are under any sort of time constraint that you need to operate under, forget it. Sounds like a short sale is more like a long sale in that it can take months upon months to actually get one to go through.
