    Underquoting and jaded buyers

    Using the story as above if it was advertised 550k+ and I thought FMV was 575k I would probably offer 530k-540k and move up. However if it was 450k and FMV was 575k I wouldn't offer less than asking price as it would ruin any goodwill in the transaction. So I would start over the 450k and...

    Underquoting and jaded buyers

    Maybe they should do more research.. Even on this forum we have people that complain about the agent putting the advertisied price to high (they wanted it lower) and the other way around. I would be more pissed off if the agent put the price of 550k+ and no one turned up and later selling...

    Underquoting and jaded buyers

    More DD is required then or the vendors have unrealistic expectations which an agent can help assist but you can only lead a horse to water. Remember this agent gets nothing until it sold, he wants to sell it as hard as he can to you if it is reasonable.

    Underquoting and jaded buyers

    I actually quite prefer auction, as you can see what other buyers are interested and how much they are bidding. Private sale you blind to what other interest is there. Both have their own positive and negatives.
