Being in the REO Business, we are negotiating offers almost every day and are often in receipt of multiple offers on the same property. In fact, we have had several listings receive over 10 offers on the same property in the same day.
In this process of handling negotiations, we are constantly asked in various ways from other Sales Associates; "Can you tell me where my Buyer's offer is positioned with the other offers you received and what is it going to take to make my buyer's offer prevail, so they get this property?"
This has become such a Standard question to us, that we have come up with a Standard (company policy) answer, which is as follows:
"Being a professional, I am sure you can appreciate that I will never share the confidentiality of your buyer's offer with anyone other then the Seller and would Never provide details of your buyer's offer with another Sales Associate or anyone else for that matter, without your permission. Therefore I hope you can appreciate why I can not answer your question".
Yes, I don't always make friends in my business with this answer, however our boundaries are very clear!
To your success,
