more bad behavior

[quote=danthedart]As the buyer, there’s no argument. Obviously you want the great deal and you want to do whatever you can to get it.

As the seller? What about another buyer who was willing to pay more? [/quote]

You’re not addressing the issue YOU brought up. In your previous post, YOU suggested it was unethical for the agent to, in essence, take the non-competitive bid instead of sending it to auction. But, at the same time, you’re acknowledging that you would take the good deal if it were offered to you, but that you’d feel bad for the seller (but clearly not bad enough to compensate them for their loss). So, to summarize, you’re willing to aid and abet unethical activity on the part of an agent if it means getting a good deal for YOU. But if such “side deals” aren’t available to you, you’ll castigate OTHERS who take advantage of them because the seller is getting ripped off. Do you not see the hypocrisy?

As my father used to say, “Where you stand depends largely upon where you sit.”

I’m guessing either the seller is buying it back from himself at a big discount and/or the agent and seller are in cahoots and are taking money out of the deal.

It’s like those “short refis” they’ve been talking about. Short sell it to yourself.

These repugnant pigs need to go to jail.

SD Realtor, we talked about this in another thread two weeks ago.
It’s the “ram your own clients down the bank’s throat in 1 listing day with a higher offer than what the appraisal will bring to get the full 6%” game. It should be illegal.

Wait, so it wasn’t a rhetorical question?

Obviously the buyer is getting a great deal and a typical buyer is going to do whatever they’re going to do to get it.

I was unaware that you were directing that question at me specifically because you stated explicitly that it was a rhetorical question. I answered for a typical buyer. And I completely understand where a typical buyer is coming from, trying to get the best deal no matter what.

If you’re directing that question at me, as a buyer I would not participate in an ethically questionable deal. Yes I would be tempted to, and you can never say for sure until you’re actually in that situation and faced with the money you’d be saving. But I would definitely be very disappointed in myself if I took advantage of the seller like that.

So I ask you directly, would YOU do that type of deal as a buyer?
