[quote=spdrun]So basically it’s OK to drop offers on 25 properties just to be able to go see them and get your foot in the door? That seems grossly unfair to the sellers, but I guess if people expect it, I’d be fine with doing it.
(Not that I’ve had much of a problem being shown what I wanted to see thus far.)[/quote]
Yes. In fact in many situations, it can be a time saver. If you’re in a multi-offer scenario you can decide immediately if you want to participate in the wild-wild-game. Or drop off. You’re agent unfortunately has to generate more paperwork for you. Deposits are typically cheap(er). Refundable if you you stay within the contingency rules.

The question is as follows: a lot of offers require a good faith deposit. What are the chances that a seller/scammer will deposit the check, drag their feet on returning the money if you don’t like the property, and say “see you in court, I dare you” if you complain?
