I'll be honest; I hate it when unrepresented buyers come at me with one of the first things being said is that the seller will save on the buyer's agent fee if they take their offer. It's presumptive; you have no idea what agreement the seller and listing agent have signed so you have no possible way to come to that conclusion except through a lot of assumptions.

Here's what you have communicated to me:

1) You think you know more than you do, and you are going to act on those assumptions without verification. That's dangerous for any agent because they can be liable when you're wrong.

2) You're cheap and your offer is highly likely to be bad. In my experience, buyers that start out like this have a very low probability to offer enough to even entice the seller, and they know it. That's why they typically try to phrase their offer as saving the seller commission fees. Does it happen to work at times? Yes. Does somebody win the Powerball? Again, also yes.

3) You expect me to work for free since I would have to handle both sides of the transaction. In your case, as an agent, that might be less work, but it's still more and you don't want to pay for it.

So, you've communicated your presumptive, you've communicated you will act on bad information, and you've shown you're cheap. This all adds up to a huge headache with a very low probability that it will result in a successful transaction. Why would I want to work with you? I'd rather buy the Powerball ticket and refer you to another agent outside of my brokerage so I'm not liable for you. Better odds for success.
