It also makes me one step removed from the offer, as a lot of sellers are suspicious of offers from brokers representing themselves.

Aloha, In a market where the sale-to-list price is 97.9%, homes sold above list price is 18.7%, and homes with price drops is 51.4%, I’m exploring how to respectfully submit an offer with a 30% to 50% discount on the listing price.Beside from the following actions, are there any additional steps I can take to ensure my approach is considerate to both the seller and my agent?

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility or control, or you prioritize high resale value, it’s worth exploring alternatives like small multifamily properties or single-family homes in areas with broader market appeal.Coming here to see if anyone has suggestions or experience to share is a great first step!
