Hi All,

Great forum and good educational test case.

Steve, you mentioned previously that a quick sale is one of the key requirements of the seller.

Regardless of whether the agent likes the offer or not, he is obliged to advise the owner of the offer, and will probably do so if the offer is accompanied by a cheque to indicate preparedness to close the deal quickly.

The agent may also be willing to change his mind if he could be made to realise that it wouldn’t be too hard to leave him out of the loop. Anyway, I would stick with the offer until the owner is advised and the owner, not the agent, makes a counter offer.

Regards
Guy
