Via Gina Duncan, R (S), ABR, e-Pro (Keller Williams Realty ):

We are finding that REO lenders will indeed look at close offers and that if you have been turned down for a purchase of an REO property it is wise to re-offer again soon. 

That being said we find that most times an REO Negotiator would have actually countered your offer to begin with.

Even in a Short Sale we closed recently the lender countered back much higher than the buyer wanted to pay and when the buyer didn't "re-counter" the negotiator actually reached out and asked the buyer to submit another offer.  The buyer ended up offering only slightly higher than the initial offer and that offer was approved.

It seems like in today's REO and Shortsale market (at least on Maui) the rules can change just about daily.  So we do recommend persistence and patience.

Aloha, Gina

1 Comments on Should I re-offer on an REO after being turned down at a Similar Price?

In response to should you re-write another offer on REO.  I strongly feel at least here in California that if you do not have a cash deal you will be beat out especially if your client is FHA, VA or 25% down.  My client and I have written many offers on REO properties to find we were bid out even after offering over asking on a conventional loan with 30% down; still to find we were beat out.  You and your clients would have a better chance of getting the property on a Short Sale if the Listing Agent is performiing correctly and you and your buyer are in first position.  If you are in a back up position, make sure that you do receive a counter offer with a PAA; purchase agreement addendum to ensure of what position you are in.  Hope this helps and never give up hope.
