Who Makes the Final Decision

By
Real Estate Agent 40CA1147997

There was a new listing this morning in need of a lot of rehab. The home is located in a nice neighborhood and the previous owners were proud owners of cats and chickens and not this kind. Entering the home this morning was quite the aroma even though all the carpets hab been removed and air fresheners all over.

What was as disturbing was the listing agent stopping by and telling my clients that the price was set in stone and they had done research as to what the costs would be for the rehab and anyone elses numbers would be inadequate.While there numbers were crunched and even though the costs of rehab were different we would make an offer.

Just another case of an agent making decisions for the seller before getting any offers.

Raymond,

What an inane presentation by the seller's agent.  You illustrated the point well.  Happy Wednesday, A

You're making the assumption that agent was not acting on an instruction to tell potential buyers that information.  Do you know it was an agent statement and not a seller instruction?

When you use the word I to me it is who is making the statement.

Raymond, I'm not sure I would have made it in the door based on your description. Sure hope the agent was directed to say that. Scary if that's not the case.

So my question is, have you called his broker or spoke to him about what he done?

This listing agent should learn when it's best for him to keep his mouth closed.

Oh golly gee whiz....if the Seller could hear the agent's discussion....and who knows it could be with a contractor buyer and the costs would never the same !

In Indiana all offers must be presented, whether the Agent approves of them or not.

How often do we see seller's consider offers that the agent said would never happen. You just don't know what the seller will do until he sees an offer.

Good morning Raymond E. Camp, no matter what, that LA should've kept quiet. Sellers can and do change their minds, some faster than others so we really don't know what they will take until there's an offer.

Good afternoon Raymond.  Honestly, some Agents really need to be re-educated about the formal and informal rules of the game!
