[quote=bsrsharma]If your contract with your agent is expiring soon, wait till then and try the new trick. If not, gently inquire if you can terminate it. If asked, you may explain what may be happening. However, your offers might not have been considered (even if it was better) if the lower offer was all or mostly cash. The sure fire bet to winning the REO game is a low ball cash offer combined with a “highly motivated” selling agent.[/quote]
As mentioned, the “winner” supposedly got the house with a FHA loan.
I don’t doubt your strategy is a good one. In my case, “trying a new trick” would be getting a better paying job. I’m pretty much incapable of embracing any house that’s built after 1979 and in my price range.
That said, we submitted an offer on another short sale. So maybe that will change. It’s pre-’79! But oh-so suburban. North Park or MH, it ain’t.
