welcome to the site!
It sure is exciting isnt it? buying a property!!

I like to look at realestate agents as ” creatures” all they think about is comissions! and the seller.

Legally from my understanding , the “creature” must hand in all resonable offers, of course they will cough and choke about our offers, but…

My advice would be to first have a look around at some other agents, ask them there procedures etc. If some of your friends have a good agent, ask them what there details are, maybe change agents. but you will hve to give the correct notice to your current slack one.
