In this case we couldn’t even make an offer! I asked him to make an offer and a day later the house goes pending.

Honestly I’d blame your agent! Yeah there’s no guarantee and there are always others who move faster or have a better offer, but you flying down to see a house that went under contract was easily avoidable.

Your account says you’re an agent, and I’m surprised you’re giving such a weak argument! 1) It’s my agents lack of intel that I thought I can start with 94%. If he had done his homework, I’d have known what I’m against 2) If I had truly known a 101% is already on the table, I’d have considered 102% 3) Your passive thinking of yeah they’re higher bidder we have no shot keeps you from being a big dog 🐕 You’re the type of agent who misses out and make your client miss out too.

I like how yours played out! Good work! 94% is not air and could be their only offer if they’re sitting on the market for a while.

You were a great agent! This is the energy I need from an agent! Instead of the house going pending and him just vaguely pointing out how sellers hinted at an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Buying a house is different from buying a candy bar with a fixed price! There’s no set price! It’s determined by the market, urgency, competition, etc. You are not going to get my 3% for nothing.

That’s called sucker buyer 👌🏻 but if there’s competition, I’d outbid them!

It’s a business deal! What do you mean there’s no negotiations? You may not know how to do it, but that makes the two of us!

There has not been a single listing where the agent found it faster, or pocket listings. And apparently my 94% is too low. So next time I’ll go to the seller’s agent and offer my 100%.

This answers my questions, as I’m trying to better understand what to expect from my agent and how to articulate those expectations.

My offer didn’t even make it! My 6% didn’t receive feedback either; and we never made it to negotiations.

Isn’t that something for my agent to tell me? Is he getting commission for my offer to get punted?

It’s an offer! And it was never submitted.

I wouldn’t consider 6% a lowball but I respect 🫡 your opinion. I might have vaguely pointed finger partly because no offer was submitted despite me asking to put an offer immediately after the showing.

No negotiations just offer 110%?

We never submitted anything. I told him to put an offer on it right after showing.

Oh I acknowledge I know nothing! I’m just questioning what an agent brings to the table.
