Hello everyone,

Healthy and Happy Holidays to all!!!

We put our house on market the beginning of Dec. we had one showing their realtor told our realtor the buyers wanted 2010 price to offer for our house...Their realtor was too embarrassed to tell us their bid

We have had our home in Amelia on the market since mid October. No offers and no showings since November 13. I feel your pain!

Hi we have house in Kissimmee, Fl listed w a realtor.

[Villageshooter]

I was wondering about the one here in the villages that she had in Amelia.

I think the offer we accepted for our house was at a 1980 price ..but that's ok, it will all be worth it when we get there next month!

Wishing you a decent price, and a sale soon, so you can have a wonderful New Year in TV.
I look forward to getting to the point where we can list...

I think your realtor is not being honest with you. A buyers realator has to present any offer to the seller, even if they think it's too low, that's part of the fiduciary duty. The realator can try to talk their clients out of a low offer but if they make any offer it has to be presented.I should add that your realator must then present the bid to you even if it's a "low-ball" offer. You on the other hand do not have to counter the bid

Keep in mind that some people will be trying to low ball you. Some people are trying to see if you'll just accept anything. If it's too low, then it's not worth making a counter offer.

Best thing to do is move on to the next buyer.

I agree she has to tell you the bid to counter. Its your home why is she holding out on the bid?

[2BNTV]

I agree she is obligated to tell what the offer was.

It wasnt my realtor that brought the people here, it was a different one...she did tell my realtor the offer, the other realtor told our realtor the price and said she wanted 2010 prices...of course I would have said no anyway!!!

I don't know, would "2010 prices" have been so bad? Has the market improved much in the past couple of years.

Hate to say it, I think you're being yanked by your realtor, she has a legal obligation to present all offers, I'd want to know how much.

She does have an obligation to present the offer and give you the opportunity to counter. No one should assume the buyer isn't willing to pay more and it's no skin off your teeth to at least get negotiations going. I once worked a deal that was $100,000 apart and we can to terms. It's a lot of work, but that is what REALTOR'S get paid to do.

Exactly right. If it were me I would call the broker for the office your dealing with and get to the bottom of whats going on. I also think 2010 prices would not be too bad, depending on the exact area and house 2010 prices might be higher than current. If an offer was presented to your realtor they have to present the actual offer not just a vague it was 2010 prices. I think I would fire your realtor
