Quick commission? How bizarre that you jump to this conclusion. The agent is performing her job - offers should always be presented in person unless there is a prohibitive reason from doing so. [ Reply | More

OP here, thanks. I know this used to be the way, but it seems silly now frankly. We are all busy and to spend any more time with agents than I have to when I have 3 kids and a lot going on, is too much imo. [ Reply | More

just tell them no, you will only take the offer over the phone or on the fax. Life is too short. [ Reply | More

So you are referring to the Buyers Agent who wants to present? You can say no to that - they are sending in a lowball and want her to give an explanation for it. [ Reply | More

Used to be that all offers were presented in person. Agent would be see as remiss if they didn't do it that way. [ Reply | More
