Her rationale was that the VLS homes are always priced accurately and sell within 5% or so of asking. She went on to say my bid should be in that range. I politely declined to follow her advice and stated my offer would always be based on my perception of the value of the house in the current market. I found a better deal with the MLS agent I was working with a few days later.

Probably 99% of the public would be thrilled beyond words if their home sold within one day!
The other 1% would probably find some dumb reason for not being happy!
Before a seller lists their home, their agent should have done a market analysis so they would know the exact price range for listing their house. Then there would be no question as to price.
