This is also the same reason why "hard money day one" offers came about.2) That said, as the market cools, all of these brokers will have to change their attitude or they will lose potential buyers for their listing. 3) Personally, I believe that Re-trade should ONLY be limited to things you could not see during your initial tour/visit.

It sounds like you have some knowledge of what work needs done, I was under the impression with Sheriff Sales you wouldn't have the opportunity to take a look at the inside of the property but maybe you were able to take a tour of it previously?

I provided detailed financials, over 25 pictures and even a short video tour of the home.  

For Real estate agents buying properties that are miles or countries away from you, wouldn't you find it awesome to see the property online through a True 3D immersive virtual tour?

Okay, it is priced at market value...did the comps for the area and have sold another property very similiar...just 4 blocks away...another house exactly the same all the way down to the same brick and square footage has already sold....houses in that area are on market about 42 days...this one 78 and counting....the market in our area has turned soft ...about 1 12/ ago...but prices stay steady....we are willing to negotiate down but not until we get an offer...do not want to rent to own....owners have purchased a new home soon to be completed.....and yes, I did a comp sheet...present it with my CMA package...Have put house on tours, open house coming up....what next

Also, take some tours and see what the competition is in the various price points.

It was while on tour that we got talking and I asked him how he started, he told me he knew he wanted to get into RE investing and signed up with the group mentioned above.

So much for DC for this tour. 

You can also schedule tours to see a couple homes right off the website, which I tried to do once, but was not very beneficial to me.
