If they don&#8217;t like the offer, all they have to do is say no.  When I am a seller, I encourage the brokers to get their buyer clients to make any offer.  One never knows.  I have seen a buyer make a $500K offer on a $1MM property and instead of getting in a huff and puff, the seller simply gave a minor counter-$995K-and then eventually the deal was settled at $975K.  Offers are a good thing, not bad, so sellers take advantage.  On the same token, buyers in this market should not hesitate to make offers.  Although it is rare, I am seeing some properties trade at up to 35% discounts off their asking prices.
