My short sale deal is falling apart, can I buy the house myself if I'm the agent

I was the listing agent on a short sale that was approved. However, the deal is falling apart because the buyer isn’t getting qualified for the loan.

Being that I was the agent on the house, can I step in and tell the bank that I want to buy the house for myself at the approved price?

Would this be a conflict of interest? Would they still pay me a commission, and if not, then I can always charge it as a 3rd party short sale negotiation fee.

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Where is the property? Based on your name, I assume New Jersey. I invest in NJ. I also have buyers. Contact me with details. Let’s see if we could do business.

Can you provide more info on the deal.
