Dollars outweigh calls every day of the week.To me, what appears to be the problem isn't setting the goals, or choosing the goals, but having a plan of how to get there. 

The challenge is knowing if the listing agent actually tells your offer to the seller or not.For example, if a distressed property is $650k and you want to offer $620k, the listing agent says the lowest the seller may accept is $645k, but is that actually true or made up because the listing agent wants their commission?
