@Michael Quarles will likely respond, but in response to your question Kim, I think that when he speaks to these people, it may be the timing, and they are desperate to get out from their home, and will state an amount he is willing to pay, thus likely getting that property at a lower price, and then turning around and selling it "as-is."

@Aaron HoakBeside others valuable advises I would try to increase the buyer agent comission and add a bonuse instead of dropping the price...surely will get buyer agents more motivated and you will get an offer soon...also could saves you money as compared to dropping the price again giving indication that there is something wrong or being desperate to sell infront of the buyers.Good Luck

They are basically taking advantage of desperate and/or uneducated buyers and sellers, they don’t understand that their homes are being wholesaled at an institutional level.To some sellers, there are more important things than money.
