We went and saw a few houses last Monday. We returned to one on Friday and wanted to put an offer on it, but we knew it was priced too high (still within our budget, but too high for the comps in the neighborhood). Our realtor decided to reach out to their agent and see what comps they were using. They just want to sell it for a specific price in order to build a new home. We asked our realtor to see what they were wanting. Today she told us they reduced the listing price by $5k, but it is still 20K overpriced and they are not willing to budge much further.

We will continue our search, but what idiots. They really think their home is above all comps...

Have you actually had the agent write an offer, so you can start the negotiation.

I understand the realtor, reaching out to feel the other agent out, but if you want the house you should put in an offer..

Go below what your willing to pay, so you can go up from the original offer, when they counter.

Good luck, exciting times, getting married and buying a house.

We gave an informal offer, but they will not go lower than what they originally paid. It's not even worth $5-10k more than what they paid. They are now leaning towards taking it off the market if they can't get what they are currently asking. We are moving on and looking at others later this week.

Busy busy day. Looks like they are going to give me a raise and make me the "lead parts man" but not full title of parts manager. The parts and service director told me he wanted to send me to any parts training he can. So hopefully that will mean good things.

I understand that. I have been a bit overwhelmed with all the stuff going on here. I am starting to get a much better grasp on things. Now to just get my territories figured out and rock and roll.

If I'm not happy and don't see myself progressing, then I look for something better. I work in Digital Media Development now for a company called Flypaper, which is a subsidiary of the Chattanooga Times Free Press
