They don’t work with buyers agents and don’t offer commission to buyers agents. For new construction they don’t negotiate at all. The price is the price and they don’t allow contingencies. They have it down to a science to protect their interests. That being said I have seen the timelines stretched a bit even though they act as if it’s so set in stone they won’t budge.

If it’s a resale through VLS then you could try for a better price. They should present all offers to the seller and the seller decides what to accept.
