Most of the successful folks on here would have ' taken advantage of' situations. Which is really a euphemism for, people. Most just don't like to acknowledge it. And some like to be hypocritical about it. Trying to take a moral high ground. Puuuulease. When they tell an agent " never mind I'll accept 500k, even though I know you can get 530k as indicated the sellers are pressured.

Simply offering a very low offer in a stagnant market is trying to take advantage of (the situation). Aka, folks.

'Taking advantage of' (markets, low stock, etc etc, is the name of the game. Essentially, people can be impacted. It's reality.

Like I said, I draw the line with mental illness and the like, but otherwise, it's just business.

Agreed! I've lowballed many a time, and bought deceased estates. Some would say I'm taking advantage, I say it's business. I'd never accept a low ball offer on one of my properties, and I'm sure most feel the same. Why do people accept it? They have their own reasons, and sometimes your low offer helps the vendor get out of a bad situation.

Agree. I can take as much as I dish out. Even more. During covid I got some big time low ball offers and I never took it personally. Even though I lost many thousands in staging. I just said no thanks. I even told the agent I don't blame them, I'd do the same!

Listing those very soon and guess what?? This time round It's gonna be my bloody turn to have fun with the buyers

Im certainly not suggesting 'at any cost'.

Only replying to the comment 'not taking advantage of people ' needs to be qualified with a dose of reality.

hmmm, yeah, fair enough. I shouldn't have jumped to instant judgement.
