On the other hand, I acknowledge all offers, let the buyer's agent know should the seller wish to counter or reject I will also forward that immediately, and forward them to the owner....but if a buyer's agent tries to "demand" a response, and starts the "I'll call your broker routine" I remind them that the owner is not obligated to respond, I'll forward it if he does, here's my broker's cell number, but in the mean time you're going to the bottom of the callback list and "have a good life", in other words.....

I don't know the land above and maybe it has some redeeming value that is not apparent but usually a note investor buying that note would DEMAND a return in excess of 20% apr.. only a newb would buy that note at a 10% apr..
