Do you show your spreadsheets to your real estate agent?

Especially if it's a bad deal. Do you show them the spreadsheet showing that it won't be beneficial to you? Not sure if it's a disrespectful thing considering I want to continue getting listings in the area. I'd say it's more damaging if you show a pro spreadsheet to them that puts more money in your pocket. They are representing the client who wants to sell the house after all, right?

@Michael Stanley Nino These days, in most major markets, if you're buying off MLS, the realtor will not care about your spreadsheet as they will be able to sell the property (as long as it's reasonably prices relative to comps).

Nonetheless, you should always provide intelligent and thorough feedback to your realtor/broker. It will help you develop credibility, ensures you are take more seriously while helping the realtor develop a better understanding of what you're looking for (while helping you understand the realtor).
