5 declined offers...
Hey everyone, I have been trying to get in the game of buying, rehab, sell and unfortunately cannot get an offer excepted. I am doing all cash offers and even offering over asking price. I am using a buyers agent and I have a feeling the selling agents are ignoring the offers to bump their commission. Not sure where I'm going wrong..any ideas!?

One trick I have used in the past with private sellers is to have a copy of a cashiers check made out to them personally accompany my offer... that stands out... since I pretty much gurantee no one else will do that.. and that is proof positive you have the cash.. now of course smart computer dudes and dudettes I guess could photo shop one.. but it has worked for me in the past.
