Discussion about
This is how this is supposed to work. 1) You are seriously interested in a property but don't like the price 2) You provide the listing and name your price 3) If you want you can start a new thread where the title gives the location and basic spec -- sqft or 3br/2 ba etc, and then name your price 4) Anyone else who is seriously interested in that apartment can also post their price. 5) A broker...

This is how this is supposed to work.
1) You are seriously interested in a property but don't like the price
2) You provide the listing and name your price
3) If you want you can start a new thread where the title gives the location and basic spec -- sqft or 3br/2 ba etc, and then name your price
4) Anyone else who is seriously interested in that apartment can also post their price.
5) A broker who is interested in representing one of the offers then makes an offer to do so in the same post and provides contact information.
6) The serious buyers contact the broker and the deal progresses
-- the non-serious buyers are filtered out automatically if they don't contact the broker
-- if the deal works, we pop the cork collectively and congratulate these people
-- if not, the broker or the buyer is obligated to at least post a juicy story

Seriously, though, I'll stick with 'naming my price' directly with the seller, thank you.
Squid,
"Seriously, though, I'll stick with 'naming my price' directly with the seller, thank you."
I'm with you Squid, this is all nonsense. If anybody is truly serious, they should view the property, do their research, and submit a bid directly to the seller. What looks good in a listing often disappoints upon closer inspection.
You can name outrageously low prices all day long on this board and it won't get you anything.
I would say that agents never present low ball offers to their clients even though I know they're legally supposed to present all offers. What do other people think? I am sure no broker would want to own up to that fact but how could it ever be verified?

Well, as I mentioned in the other thread on this idiotic proposal, I cannot imagine why ANY buyer would put his name out there so a band of marauding brokers can swoop in and start inundating him with come-ons. Go ahead, toss a little chum into the water, why don't ya. I'm still trying to shake off brokers I met MONTHS ago, all still desperate for my buy-side biz.
So do have fun with your little game, but please don't be offended if serious buyers remain on the sidelines, scratching their heads in disbelief.

Squid,
Exactly, I am still getting emails from brokers I met six months ago. I might have to go on the lam.

So that 310 WEA #8D apartment has traded two times in the last three years. How can there be nothing wrong with it? There has got to be plumbing issues, vermin, noisy neighbors, something. Apartments just don't typically trade that frequently.

What a great idea, even if it "won't get you anything." I'm not seriously looking, so I can't truly play, but it will be fun to follow and comment upon if others take up the idea.
It's yet another useless thread because all you're going to get are bitter, low-ball offers like we've seen here with evnyc. You're not likely going to get a serious buyer--or reasonable person--who takes a moment to think realistically and propose something that makes sense.
