After doing some research I can see that they may have paid more than the house will appraise for in this market. The comps will not support what they paid for the house, the … (13 comments)

montrose colorado: please don't hurt my feelings! - 12/08/09 05:39 AM
So here we go. We submit a very low offer on a foreclosure, the bank gets back to us with "REJECTED" and a big checkmark  in the box "no counter".  I inform my client that the bank did not counter and he goes ballistic.
I try to explain to him again, in a calm fashion that his offer was indeed low ball and the bank did not take it seriously( according to the listing agent).
