In the past, I've had agents 'forget' to submit a higher offer since with my offer, she would make much more money than the other offer.

This will only work if the agent is experienced and doesn't mind the risks.
Usually helps if they're Persian or Armenian.. at least here in LA.


I just put an offer in for some land with the selling agent and she specifically told me what other offers she had. Listing was at 80k, valued at 130k, i offered them a nice lowball at 45k and she's pushed it through.

Go to Open houses and meet with the agents directly

Or, if you have a friend who has access to MLS, you will be able to get all the information you need.

Good luck

but don't try renting out the other 4 rooms... not a good idea

i wish we could get a 5 BR 3k sq ft house here for 200k.. that will cost you 700-1mil+ over here..

Also, 5 BR in 3k is normal, at least over here.

And it's not all too bad. It really depends on the layout of the house



and you wonder why Persian people catch a bad rap lol.

just sayin
