don't say anything else after asking that question.Now if you are dealing with an agent - you are not going to have the opportunity to deal with the seller - so - you may want to just make an offer 25% below what ever it is list for.AUCTIONS: As for real estate auctions - I have been an auctioneer for many years selling hundreds of properties annually - I would like to say that we do not always satisfy the sellers reserve price (Oh - we only represent owners and investors - no foreclosures) but we don't always get the auction price up to the reserve - but the good news is that at the auction the owner becomes very motivated to accept a lower bid - thus a great equity profit is made ------ so do not discount auctions if you are looking for a great deal.Believe me I have seen so many properties sold at auction that have a ton of equity.Someone recently said "The best deals are MADE and FOUND"So ---- how do you MAKE a good deal from the many properties out there that do not look like a good deal?
