So I figured. 🙂 I have a mind of going directly thru the listing agent. I didn’t appreciate being barked at about my lack of touch with reality with this 475K offer.

Supposedly our agent wants us to get the house we want ASAP so he is pushing for higher offers to stand a better chance. But we are content waiting for a good deal that we also like a lot.

Now, in those 9 months on the market, I am imagining this house has received low ball offers but they didn’t take them. The location is not too bad, good schools, and the house is in decent shape. Apparently they had an uncooperant tenant for the first 6 months or something like that. So chances of getting our low offer accepted are tiny, but I also thought it was worth a shot.

From the point of view of a realtor, don’t you think it’s too much trouble though, to put together an offer if you believe that the market is such that an offer like that would never be accepted?

Mind you in this situation, we don’t know about other offers, it’s a traditional sale, however, it’s in pre-foreclosure and has been on the market 9 months.

I guess I’d like to know how much realtors object to making lowball offers? Thanks!!!
