@Bill Gulley oddly enough, the agent in question has a profile on this site.  Not much info, but a profile nonetheless. 

@Bill Gulley I am of the same mindset you are.  Does not take me long to figure out what the real deal is.   My boyfriend is much more passive.  

When we put in the 2nd offer at $2500 more, we were expecting there to be other offers.   This will be our third offer.  I totally agree with not going over the full asking price.

I hold a license in another state and generally put 48-72 hours for acceptance, depending on who (entity or person) is the seller.   Quick responses are best.  

 @Bill Gulley  would you go about it that way or have the agent fax the offer to the asset management department with a letter stating the agent is uncooperative? Mind you, the fax number just a number from their website.  I'm not sure it will get any attention.

 My boyfriend just reminded me our 2nd offer was $2500 OVER asking.

@Brent Coombs I'm a bit confused by this.  We made a FULL, as is, cash offer, 10 day close.  Even provided proof of funds.   For the record, I think the asking price is low BUT it's about what they have gone for at auction 6 months ago.  

I have called the bank and they asset managers do not accept calls. The only number available is to their call center. They put in a complaint and called the agents broker. We got cooperation for about a week or two, thus the 2nd offer, then nothing. It's still on the banks website and not on the MLS. Was thinking of contacting the Dept of RE.

I found a listing on a bank REO website a couple of months ago on a property we could afford to pay cash for. it is NOT listed on the MLS. Our agent took us to view the property the day after it was listed on the website. There was not a door handle to get inside. Viewing through the windows was enough. We immediately signed a full cash offer no contingencies. When my agent called the listing agent he was rude, curt and hung up quickly. After calling him again he said it was not ready to take offers, the property is going to auction.com. My agent submitted an offer anyway... no response. A few days later the listing agent called and said send the offer over. We did. Then he says 'sorry we jumped the gun' we're not ready yet. Have to evict someone. (There was NO ONE living in the property.) Every time my agent calls, he says 'still not ready.' I have called the asset management department of the mega bank. They are limited in what they can do from a call center. Anyone else have this problem or advice? I really really want this place.

 Thanks for that!  I ran across one of his listings today.  Will definitely be in touch with him.  

Our situation is odd, high credit score (750+) terrible debt to income.  

 I appreciate that Roland!   We should definite talk.   

 That will happen after the new year.   We have only been here 6 months and still trying to get settled.
