It is NOT FAIR GAME.
[quote=recordsclerk]If you have an opportunity to talk directly to the listing agent, you can get valuable information regarding the sale of the property. Sometimes the seller wants something that is simple to provide had you just known about it while writing up the offer. [/quote]
But I don’t understand why all those conditions are not disclosed to all the buyers? Why does it have to be a “secret” deal? It is very unfair, IMHO. I believe all the buyer’s agents do talk directly to the LA – however not all will get the same vital information. These conditions should be spelled out in the Remarks – the seller would prefer a 30 days rent, or “moving costs” (to satisfy the lender) or something like that – so all buyers would be aware of that. THEN let the best offer for the seller win. I understand that it may not be the highest, if the one with the highest wouldn’t satisfy those other criteria. But I think it should be full disclosure about how the offer would be rated.
