Homepath
I am looking at making an offer on a couple Homepath properties but have never done that in the past. I am curious if anyone has been able to get an offer accepted below their asking price, or does Freddie Mac stay pretty firm on their asking price.
Also, do I have to work with a real estate agent to make an offer, or can I make on offer on my own?
Thanks in advance,
Brent

I just bought one in November and I got it for $25% off the asking price. You do have to use a realtor to put the offer in, however Fannie Mae paid all the commission fees. I also used their title insurance company and was very reasonable.
