[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just did this in our neighborhood. We got in to see the house before it even went on the market, and made an offer the day it went on the market. Days before the open house. Not sure if any other agents even had a chance to show it to potential buyers.

I feel 100% certain that if our realtor didn't have a relationship with the listing agent, we would have been competing against other offers, if we could even get one in there in time.

We had been going to open houses fully aware that it was already too late at that point, but wanted to go anyway just to see different houses.[/quote]

PP here. Also wanted to add that our offer was full list price, but not over. I don't think things are to that point yet. The sellers agreed to take our offer because it was otherwise very strong and met all of their requests.[/quote]

Friend is trying to buy a SFH in N Arlington each time they are listed at the last comparable 2-3 months a go and he has lost each of them in bidding wards way over list (list set as last comparable sales price). The last one was 50k over list on a mid 600k home to a cash buyer who didn't care about it appraising.[/quote]
