Two Low ball offers that didn't work

Let's get to the low ball offer.

I had two really low offers in the same week by two different people. The homes were $160,000 each and both offered $90,000.

Wouldn't that be cool if you could buy a home with that big of a discount?

And if you could, don't you think every realtor, investor, buyer etc would be doing it.

The problem is once in a great great while this happens. It seems people always hear of someone who has done this.

On this particular low ball offer, the seller didn't even bother to counter since he thought both buyers weren't serious.

I can hardly blame the sellers.

I always try and encourage them to at least counter, but some won't.

What I was most surprised about, is one guy knew his offer wouldn't go through, but thought he would try anyway.

The other guy, was flat out mad that the guy didn't even counter.

I am willing to try at least. I have found that the way low ball offer pretty much wastes every one's time.
