Change your agent (does not have to be a Realtor®).
Even better, talk to the listing agent directly. You can trust listing agents as much as you can trust a buyer’s agent.[/quote]The listing agent does not work for you. They work for the seller.
If your looking to go in a little low (which is perfectly fine) you will most likely want to get a buyers agent that wants to represent you at whatever price you are comfortable with. It is always best to find a recent comp that justifies the price. Unrealistic sellers need to see proof
of why their home is worth what you say it is worth.Trust should’nt come from which side your working on. Trust should be earned over time.

Participant[quote=SD Realtor]ED it could be a slippery slope. What if the OP was on an auto MLS feed and got the new listing information from email that the original agent sent? Getting the cancellation agreement is always the cleanest way to sever the relationship. Even with that cancellation, IF the OP goes back to one of the homes that the original realtor showed them, it would be best to use the original realtor to buy that previously shown home just to make triple sure. I would agree it would be best to consult an attorney.[/quote]
Again, from everything I have read regarding procuring cause it is about the uninterrupted chain of events leading to an offer. The agent refusing to submit an offer breaks the chain. I would always of course try for a written piece of paper just to make things clean. But I still feel outside of a previously signed agreement that the agent in question would have no leg to stand on. Thats just one anonymous persons non-legal opinion on the matter.
