If you have questions, answers or debates about the “what the experienced have to say” series post them here.
Let’s keep the original series clean of such questions.
Thanks.
Can you by pass the realtor, if he is refusing to submit your offer.
Most definitely.
The realtor is not going to be happy and may try to encourage the seller to reject your offer.
Legally he has to submit your offer. If he doesn’t, then go for it.
Always insist that the seller response (even to reject ) be in writing. Otherwise you may be getting a BS response from the realtor.
What is a bigger problem is when the realtor finds that he was wrong and his seller is entertaining your offer. He may then try to buy himself or to an investor that he has a relationship with.
Happens far to often.
