    I know I can get another real estate agent….but I think I will work with her and get her to do what I want….My current agent has worked with me for the past two months and she has put in quite a lot of work (in all I have put 7 offers in the last two months, in most cases my offer price was a bit too low), and I don’t want to deprive her of her commission when I do buy. I don’t have any signed agreement with her but I would like to be fair with her.

    i need more info. is it your agent who is upset or the seller’s agent? why is she hesitant? does she feel like it somehows lessens her reputation? I don’t get how there can be any hesitation or shame in playing hardball, walking away, coming back, looking for vulnerability, asking for things that may or may not be unreaosnable, etc. I am in uncomfortable confrontational situations daily. I expect people who are acting as my agent to be able to deal with me sometimes being unreasonable, and others being unreasonable, and always working toward making something happen. i would have a frank discussion with the aget and get it all ont he table. i would ahve zero trust, based on what i’ma ssuming is happneing here…

    I would say she could get the commission on your lower offer or some other agent can. Remind her kindly that you are the client, and her relationship with the listing agent is of no concern to you.

    Go to the listing agent and ask them to write the offer.
