Users want a service that allows them to submit lowball offers through real estate agents while ensuring agents are compensated for their time, potentially increasing the willingness of agents to submit such offers.
I understand why agents don't like submitting lowball offers. In addition to reputation hits with other agents, doing so will mostly be a waste of time and energy, and lead to frustration. Regardless, I would like to find an agent or two, or a service that charges me upfront for showings and also to submit offers. Possibly a situation where I take over the process once an offer is accepted (saving commission), but I would actually prefer the buyer's agent to continue with the sale, earn a commission negotiated through the sale, and rebate me whatever portion I have already paid for the showing and offer fees. I think this would entice buyer's agents to write those low offers, and force sellers to at least consider the written offers. Are there any agents or services that do this? When googling for showing agents, I'm only seeing ones that show properties on the behalf of listing agents. In regards c to utilizing a Redfin/etc agent, I don't want one expecting to write full-price offers or solely dependent on the offer being accepted. Basically, I don’t want to fully waste someone else's time and money (and dealing with their hesitance to do so), but am OK risking my own.
