Should I ask for a buyer rebate? Or, am I being too cheap?
I called the listing agent on a foreclosure listed at $35k.
I told her I'd make an offer (not at $35k). Mine was significantly lower.
She told me she'd e-mail me the documents to e-sign.
She had everything filled out (convenient).
They already have an offer that I know is more than mine (it's cash as well).
Am I being too cheap asking for a buyer's rebate on such a low dollar transaction? She's representing both of us. I looked at the house once.
Although it was convenient having everything filled out, there was nowhere to change anything on the Authentisign document.
What would you guys do?

@Anthony Dooley I think Fred wants this agent to credit HIM money from her commission at closing..
This kind've stuff drives me absolutely insane.. Stop calling the listing agent and trying to save a few dollars thinking youre going to get a better deal..
#1 - Get an agent to represent you properly.. If you think this listing agent cares 1 iota about you when her fiduciary is with the seller, you're out of your mind..
#2 - This is a sub 30k property.. Even at a full 6%, after broker fees, taxes and misc fee's, she'll be lucky to make $800.. For a months worth of work.. And you want to take part of that? Really? Do people come and try to take part of your check for work or services you provide? You should be smacked for even considering that..
#3 - karma is a beach
End of rant...
