I don't give a rip about a national survey that was sent out to people to fill out and send back. You can skew those numbers real quick and easy. Was it a blanket survey to EVERYBODY who bought or sold property during the target time frame? I doubt it, so how were the respondents chosen? Did everybody who received them send them back? What was the margin of error? Who was conducting and financing the study? All questions that directly relate to the findings. Also a Nation wide survey does NOT directly relate to individual areas in any aspect of life. What a national survey/study reveals is the average of all these unique areas combined. If this is not the case, do you look at national crime figures and believe they are a direct match to the area you live in? Do National income figures directly match your area? Do National home purchase prices match your areas average? |

We found a house that we were *really* interested in and were getting ready to make an offer. We looked at the property twice, then wanted to go back one more time to put in the offer, but a few days before we were supposed to go up my agent called and said he was no longer going to represent us. When I finally got the story sorted out, it turned out that the owner of the agency representing the seller had browbeat my agent into dropping us in order to keep the entire commission in her agency. Ding! No Sale. It's a shame too because it really was a very nice property with a lot of potential, already more than half-way to being almost exactly what we were looking for. |

Gosh, you can make an offer with any realtor. Dont let them beat you up like that.

Maybe get a buyer's agent and then submit your bid?

One I bought, the listing agency said my bid was too low and the seller wouldn't accept it. I told her "by law she must submit my bid to the seller" She was pissed, but submitted it to the seller, the seller accepted and all ends well.
You dont need a buyers agent or anything, just tell them to submit your bid and don't take no for an answer. |
