Whether you say ethics or any other BS in the real world these REO kings and queens have a list of buyers ready to purchase with cash where the REO broker can double end a deal.If the offer is close to what the asset manager wants then the bank doesn't care about double ending.How you level the playing field is to tell the listing agent they can keep all the commission so they will push your offer with all things being equal.It is a classic mistake I see brokers and agents make time and again.The REO broker is only getting a tiny fee on their side and having to cover a bunch of costs listing the REO so getting the other side is huge for them.If you are flipping you will save the commission on the sell side as an agent and you can put 4% co-op to get buyers agents in droves and still save 2%.The price has to be competitive and the rehab quality for the area as always.You can't just offer a higher co-op and then list high to compensate for it.That is another classic seller mistake.good luck

This is a classic case of an HOA that has some vague language in the rules and then has a Board Member who is trying to use the vagueness of the rule to insert her personal aesthetic on the community.
