Silent Listing Agent

[Amber K.]

After a few strike outs, I've finally found a realtor who is young, but already working with other investors, really responsive, and actually has a passion for real estate. 

We've run into a situation where the listing agent for a house has yet to respond to questions I submitted through my realtor. It's been over a week now. What can I do to get the information I need? The agent doesn't appear to be on vacation and I'm sure they are really busy, but I need this information. I'm working on lining up funding and I would like to put an offer in, but how do I do so, if they aren't responding?

On a side note, this agent is related to the seller. But this doesn't necessarily negate their fiduciary responsibilities to their client, does it?

Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

Amber, I invest a lot in Michigan at the moment. If I buy MLS properties, it usually works well for me to offer the selling agent to double dip in return for a steep discount on the house. Using this strategy I bought a MLS listing a few months back that was listed for 55k. I purchased the property for 37k and it appraised within a month @63k.

All I did was offering the selling agent to double dip. The property has been sitting on the market for a while and it worked out great in this scenario. Have done this a few times now and it worked pretty well every time. Let's connect!
