wanted to get your opinion on an offer situation I had today: My clients looked at a home over the weekend which they loved but did not specifically say they wanted to make an offer. I provided feedback that my buyer is very interested in the ShowingTime app. On Monday an agent from the listing team gave me a call asking if my buyer would like to put in an offer and that they don't have anything yet. My buyers were still quiet and I didnt let them know.
On Wednesday afternoon the agent texted me that they have an offer; and $630,000. and waived inspection would beat it (listed at $660,000.), just in case my buyer was still interested. So I let them know they could make that offer or have an inspection but offer more in price. My buyer decided to offer $630,000 and waive inspection. They signed and I emailed it this morning and got an email in the afternoon that the seller accepted a better offer, I asked and it was: $640,000, waived inspection and Form 17, and 50% down payment.
I thought we had it for sure, I even said to the buyer if you offer this its yours. I am a newer agent and this hasn’t happened. It felt like I was used to get a higher offer?
