Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I am trying to accomplish a short sale on my home and have been working with my lender to get it completed. The lender is also processing a foreclosure simultaneously on my house and I have received a notice of hearing of " Ex-Parte Motion to Substitute Party Plaintiff" from the local court. I can't make it to court because I'm out of state for work. Do I have to get an attorney to appear for me at this hearing or can I send my realtor to inform the court about the pending short sale? My goal is to get the foreclosure postponed so I have enough time to finish the short sale. What is the best course of action for me in this situation? Thank you for your suggestions.

It is always wise to retain counsel for an important matter. You get no second chance. Ex Parte motions have no hearing.
