Check out this recent post from a Reddit User:
Very confused!
"I want to buy a new house that is just outside of my price range. I have been to the Open House on several occasions and gotten to know the seller's agent as a result. During my last visit, I asked the agent if the seller was motivated. I said, "do you think they would be willing to take an offer of $X?" He said, "yes, I think they would." I told him that my agent would be in contact with him soon. (My offer is about 5% less than asking.)
My agent refused to present my offer without getting a sense from the seller's agent about whether they would accept it, even though I told him that the seller's agent already said they would be open to it."
"I waited about a week for my agent to get back to me only to tell me that the seller's agent said there was no point in submitting an offer. I cannot go higher because my mortgage approval specifies I'm at my limit."
"I am so confused. It seems like my agent is not motivated to make the deal, but maybe that's just the way things go? Can I call the seller's agent directly to see what's up? (I just started working with my agent and I haven't signed anything.)"
