Yes, you need a different real estate agent, who will present the offer for you. Attorneys typically do not present offers and negotiate the deal, they only get involved after the price and terms have been agreed. Whoever you decide to use to present the offer, make sure they add a contingency to the offer that their own fees will be paid by the bank at closing, otherwise you will be responsible for paying them on top of the agreed purchase price.
