“Over the past week we submitted 2 offers that were a good 15% below the listed price.”

I thought if I were him and I had gotten an offer at all, I would have counter offered my house at a cheaper price, as is.
It’s not personal,I mean just because you don’t like the offer doesn’t mean you just lie down, does it?

I have never had any dealings like that. Bought my house in ’95 and knew I had gotten a deal. We were in our 20’s and naive. The agent was both buyer/seller agent. So we didn’t offer any lower. Though now I wish we would have looked around more. I won’t do that again.
