My understanding from an agent (at least on the one property I’m interested in) is you MUST use the online altisource/gohoming site to submit a bid… you can’t initiate a standard offer to purchase on this property through a buyer’s agent. Oh bother![/quote]
You have to use the site to submit a bid agent or not but any of the properties I have seen have a broker co-op (i.e. buyers agents get paid) but I’m not in San Diego and YMMV.
