I insulted seller

[Joe Conklin]

I believe that I insulted the seller.  My agent relayed a message to me saying the other realtor mentioned offer will likely flat out rejected and will insult them.

Listing: 125k

My Offer: 90k

My max: 115k

So tomorrow when my offer gets rejected, what do you feel is the best approach?  I'm either thinking a) submit my max offer or b) raise my offer price to 105k.

I'm leaning towards raising my offer to 105k as them rejecting my offer is a good negotiation tactic on their part.
