If I were representing you as your buyer's agent, I would contact the seller's agent before presenting your offer to ask what time they would be able to present it to the seller.I'd then submit the offer close to that time and give the seller a 3 hour deadline.  

The investor bid period is 15 days and the period deadline is the last day for owner occs. 

I told them AHEAD OF TIME the accept / reject / counter deadline is Nov 20 5pm EST, I put that into the contract.

I’m dealing with a seller and seller’s agent who did everything they could by playing tricks on me and acting in bad faith to force me to miss my contingency deadlines so they can get out of the contract and not sell the property to me.

Many of us would love to walk into properties 100% leveraged however this is hard to do and it would put some pressure on the budget and deadlines. 

For melrose park deadline is Aug 14th I would look into this.

@John FranczykThe Period deadline in the HUDhomestore listing means absolutely nothing after the exclusive period has expired. 

I have wanted to give myself a deadline of purchasing by the end of winter and fixing it up by the end of spring.

We're both looking for new jobs, and not sure where and what they will be, but we're putting a 6 month deadline.2.

They will likely change the quoted price a bit knowing that there is a serious deadline.
