Can a real estate agent refuse to send the offer I proposed?

[Moises Guerra Garcia]

Hi! Recently I spotted a property priced at $600k. The property had come down from $1.2m. 
I proposed to my agent that we make an offer for $550k. The real estate agent refused and claimed her/his time is valuable. What should I do? Should I change agents if I have yet to sign any "exclusive agreement" contract?

Your agent needs to present the offer. If they won't, tell them you will find another one who will.
