    Change your realtor. Our broker always presented pros and cons on homes and was always willing to write an offer if we wanted it. If he felt we were low he would caution us the seller might be insulted and not respond (which they didn’t a few times ;)). But at the end of the day his relationships are what got us the home we are in escrow now.

    If you are looking La Jolla/Bird Rock/PB area let me know and I will forward you his info. If he gives me a referral fee i’ll give it right back to you. 🙂

    Some agents are sleazbags and some aren’t.
    Some merely suck.
    Some (like me) are busy as hell right now (which, of course begs the question of why I am blogging and not working at this moment) and busy people do not always give great service(irrespective of how popular they are).
    If your agent leaves you feeling uneasy or causes you to wonder whose interests he has at heart, then go and don’t look back.
    As an agent, I think that it is important when discussing appropriate prices to ground them in hard comparable numbers.
    That being said, sometimes, I have had clients who are the buyer equivalent of the “arrogant seller” prototype we saw a lot of in 2004 and 2005. These are buyers who think because of an article they read in the WSJ they can make an offer for $300k on a place where recent comps suggest $400k. Anyone can make the offer but sometimes its not strategic or realistic.
    Some agents are clumsy or stupid in their presentation of these market realities. Speaking personally, I will always give my opinion of how to write and present an offer in a way most suited for success. However, I will also remind clients that it is their money being spent and not mine.

    Okay, go ahead and flame me but try to be specific.

    As much as I like to poke fun at Realtors…your informative post didn’t have anything flame-worthy.

    Your realtor should be working for you. If you do not feel that he/she has provided the representation you expect it is a no brainer. If things happened as you explained then yes you should interview others.
