whats with rude real estate agents

Ok everyone, please answer this for me. Im in the process of purchasing a property and getting the purchase and sale agreement done. I did this with my first deal and had the same problem. My partner and I use our own forms/contract and write up our offer with contingencies and send it to the agent. The agents keep making a stink over our contract documents and try to get us to not use our documents and use their "official MLS ones" or "state friendly ones." Also they keep trying to mess with our inspection dates trying to get them very short when we need them a certain amount so we can fin

If you're going to make offers through agents, use their contracts.  You can use your own contracts if you're directly to owners.  Agents are also not going to be particularly cooperative with you trying to wholesale deals that you get under contract.  You need to have buyer's lined up and ready to go so you don't need a long "inspection" period to give you time to find buyers.

IMHO, you're fighting an uphill battle to wholesale off the MLS. Anyone can already see those properties. So, unless you're making tons of lowball offers, which agents do not like, you're not going to get a deal that you can mark up and still be below what it was listed for on the MLS. Do your own marketing to find sellers.
