Realtors-do you mind this?

It takes up a lot of time to fill out the Earnest Money Agreement to Purchase, plus time to present the offers to the seller. As a Realtor, I would set you up a appointment with a mortgage lender and have them prequalify you as a purchaser, they will look at the last 2 years on you W2 tax forms etc. plus bank accounts, work history to see what price range you qualify for. I as a Realtor, would not write up a offer that may insult a seller, usually a seller has the comps from other homes that recently sold in his neighbor hood. If you want to bid, on homes go to the county and bid on the court house steps, for tax lien properties and foreclosures. Lots of times the owner will come back with a counter offer ! Be prepared to sh*t or get off the pot. And Quit wasting everyone's time.
