I am also considering submitting an offer directly to a listing agent. Thanks for the info SDR, very helpful.
Does anyone have a template for writing an offer they would like to share, or can recommend a website?
I was going to add a comment at the end something like “this offer is pending review by buyers legal counsel” so I can have someone review details with my interest in mind before signing the purchase agreement. Do you think this makes the offer weak? If yes, how would I protect my right to independent review but get across I am willing to let the listing agent keep the entire commission?
I am really just interested in seeing if they will accept an offer at my price point. I would want to work out the details afterwards if they would consider the price. I have a pre-approval letter ready to go at the offer price.
