Selling Agent is Executrix of Estate

[Jaron Smith]

Hello everyone,

I am interested in a property where the Listing Agent is the Executrix of the Estate. I submitted an offer through an agent that showed me the property, of which after I submitted the offer, my agent told me he thought the ARV was actually 30k less than what he originally told me before I made the offer. This rubbed me the wrong way.

However I made a lowball offer and was countered by the Executrix, my question is, can I contact the listing agent (Executrix) and make an offer through her directly ? She would obviously get my commission then from the purchase.

Thanks,

Jaron

Nope, the local mls rules will determine your agent as the procuring cause, regardless of whether your offer was accepted. And really, you'd be happier if your agent just kept his mouth shut on correcting his ARV estimate? You think you'll get better representation from the seller?
