To clarify my earlier answer, I let go of clients who are not serious buyers.They are just "tire kickers" In NYS, You have to present all offers, so if you don't like the clients tactics, get rid of the client.
But there is always an agent out there that will present these low offers, and buyers that will try to sue an agent if the agent does not do what they want. In our area there has been an unusually high number of complaints from buyers.They were mad that agents would not present offers that were almost half of asking price.I just had such a client.I refused to waste time with him.I provided him with a market analysis to show him what homes in the area sold for, and he also had a home inspector look at the house, which the inspector said was in excellent shape, and the buyer still tried to offer half the asking price. - Fri Dec 7 2007, 19:34
