[quote=sdrealtor]niy,
that one is a very underpriced short sale lisitng. the agent put it under contract with his own buyer and appears to be trying to slip it past the lender. Shall we say this is of questionable ethiics?[/quote]

sdrealtor,

Are you saying the listing broker does not have to show your offer to the bank even if your solid offer with little or no contingents is 50K more the one he or she submitted? Do you see this often during short sale or normal RE transactions? If yes, what are the disciplinary fines/penalties for the listing brokers?

If this type of shitty or unethical tactics do happen, I hope the fed would intervene to clean it up.
