I am thinking about, a randomized trial.  1000 yellow letters with MD and 2000 yellow letters without it.Once you start negotiations half of the uniformed contacts should be told you are a Medical Doctor.Profit is probably the most important thing to observe but other results such as... 1)  Call back rates.2)  Number of counter offers.3)  Percentage of increase from original offer to accepted offer.... would be very interesting.PS  Congratulations on getting the MD.

If the seller accepts, but the lender declines .. then usually the lender will counter offer.

In some cases you will receive a counter offer but it is more of an invitation to bid again and is not a true counter

For example, there were 5 bids at the time HUD countered below....COUNTER OFFER PERIOD NOTIFICATION(PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL AS IT IS NOT MONITORED)Bid Date June 10, 2013Confirmation #: 6095909-6085051-5

I'm about to counter offer...

Expect a counter offer......then what? 

You should have a counter offer within the next month anyway.

I'm making many offers on the mls if i get any action at all its a high counter offer and i cant take the risk to make 10K to 12K i need at least a 20K spread because im using hard money.

My realtor explained that I'd have to add the entire brokers' commission amount (about $6K) to the bank's counter offer so that after deducting the commission, the bank is left with their own counter (net offer).

In Florida, my counteroffers since Friday have dramatically went down from 60-70 counteroffers to around 15-17.
