Steve D Valentine explains how to make low offers work in real estate. Call the listing agent first to explain your reasoning, ask them to present it to the seller, and use it to build a relationship for future off-market deals.
This is where we talk about practicing. So all of us look at him like, I really don't want it. Good. Make an offer on it. Make a really bad offer, but let's keep it professional. Right? That's a call to the agent. Hey, I don't want to just send you a blind offer. I want to let you know here's what I'm thinking and here's why I want to send you the offer. I know it seems low, but will you present it to your seller? And let's just have a conversation. If I can get to your number, great. If we can't, then it's there. If something happens, I just want to create a relationship. And by the way, if you have anything else like this, I'd love the opportunity to look at it before it goes to market establishment. Some of these agents don't know what to do with these things. That's why she has it on the market.
