ParticipantHe should write the offer you want. 7.5% isn’t that much.You might not get it but that isn’t a high reduction. If there is a really valid reason he should be able to offer an explanation that doesn’t feel like arm twisting to you. That would be something like, “It already has 4 offers and I know that yours won’t get it, would you like I try to discuss a back-up offer with the listing agent”?
One problem now, with getting another agent to write you an offer on that particular place is that this person showed it to you and can claim to be procuring cause. You would want to put in writing that you are going with another agent because he or she is giving you too much hardship about writing the offer you like. They could still try to sue but it probably would not come to that. You could just tell them to write the offer or quit. Dump them if they don’t come around.
The principal gives the orders and if he doesn’t like the way you do things he should quit on his own behalf and not try to bend you to his will.
If you get another agent ask them upfront if they will write low offers or even “what the hell you never know” offer, in case you might want to try that.

ParticipantChange your realtor to someone who you like working with and someone who likes working with you. Enough said. Do it.

Participant[quote=pri_dk]No need to worry.
REALTORS® are bound by a Code of Ethics, and must always act in the best interest of the client (you).
In the extremely unlikely case that a REALTOR® would violate this code, other REALTORS® would immediately act to sanction the offender and provide relief to the victim.
Seriously, if you have to ask, then the answer is yes.[/quote]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, breath, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.
In all seriousness, IF you signed a contract or something to work with him, read it. If you didnt, ask him to submit the offer or step-a-side so you can work with someone who will actually work WITH you. Only submitting offers he personally approves of cant be considered in your best interest.
IN my totally UNinformed opinion (I have never met the guy), this guy sounds like a RE pollyanna. He prob feels that the reason prices are falling is that RE agents like him are not communicating the true value of whatever is in discussion and are submitting lowball, BS offers. If no one submitted these lowball BS offers, prices would go “back to where they belong” (ie 2005+) and the recession and all the bad stuff would end tomorrow.
He also sounds kinda snobby. I met one of these guys last weekend at an open house. Jerk started openly dissing Mira Mesa, even though I had already told him I lived there. The low ball stuff may just ruffel his feathers, same some ‘housewifes of OC’ types may look down at buying something on sale. ‘If it isnt full price, there must be something wrong with it’ type of thinking.
