Looking for a high offer volume agent in the Twin Cities area
Hey all,
I've been having trouble securing an agent that is willing to help me put out a high volume of offers that have a low chance of success. Most of the ones I have met are more focused on retail clients. If you're an agent that's willing to work with me, please send me a message.
Thanks,
Garrick

Hi Garrick, one of the issues you will deal with an agent is that our market is not that big and we constantly run into the same agents on deals over and over. If we submit an offer the listing agent MUST present it to his seller. In most cases this will be rejected and it is a hassle for the listing agent and after a few of these they tend to be annoyed and no longer inform us of pocket listings or take our bids seriously.
That being said I have no issue with near full ask offers for listings that are priced at or below value. Many times the seller takes the first full ask offer to be done with it. Often the buyers are just submitting offers without really seeing the property (besides a driving by) and look at the property during inspection. This is a higher volume approach that can yield some results without wasting time.
Beware of the low ball offers that are approved, it is an indication that the seller knows that there are serious problems that are not disclosed if they are accepted soon after it is listed.
