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? I was informed that the "ex-parte motion to substitute party plaintiff " does not have actual hearing, but my Notice Of Hearing clearly sets a date, time and room number for a Hearing. Thank you for your suggestions.
