Making offers as an agent.
Ok.. so I am a real estate agent in Oklahoma. I recently ran across a for sale by owner. I called on it initially to see if they would be interested in working with a Realtor®. The owner gave me stern "NO". Sooo.. I kept digging and gathered all the information on the property and quickly realized they have undervalued this property by a large margin. Now my brain is cranking to quickly snatch this deal up. Once again the same thing happens that has happened anytime I buy for "myself". Perhaps I have misinterpreted our rules and regs regarding transparency of being a Realtor®; if so please advise.
Every time I express interest in a property and disclose with complete honesty I am a realtor® the sellers get uneasy. As if I am automatically taking advantage of them.
What is your dialogue and techniques to avoid this?
