Seller Will Not Negotiate

[Matthew MacDonald]

Good morning from sunny San Diego, 

Over the weekend I made an offer on an SFR that is currently on the market. The Seller's agent let me know that the Seller rejected my offer, and is not interested in negotiating the price because my offer was "too low." Have any of you ever had this happen? Would it not be more beneficial to the Seller to at least try one counter offer with me to see how much higher I would have gone on the house?

Looking forward to seeing others experiences with situations like this

Have a friend submit an offer lower then yours. If by chance they take it your friend can then assign it to you.
