Get The heck outta here!

We made an offer to purchase a beautiful 2bed,2ba Condo in Coral Springs Florida. The listing was for $199,000. The condition of the condo was fair, it needed carpet and a good paint job. The buyer told me to offer " $171,500" based on the closed sales in the area. We called the Sellers Agent, told him the buyer had great credit, 10% down and closing in 3 weeks if the seller required it! The agent did not respond, so I asked "Is anyone still on the line?"
He coughed and proceeded to SCREAM at me! "GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE" he moaned, the listing is for $199,000. Again, I mentioned that comps in the area reflect a sales price closer to $170-$175K, not a penny higher, that the Seller is not realistic isn`t our fault I explained. He again started to SCREAM "MY SELLER WON!T LOOK AT YOUR OFFER! GET LOST", click, goodbye, no have a wonderful day nothing! The buyer who was next time looked pale! She was in a state of shock, and asked me "Are all agents like that?" I told her, we don`t need to deal with him, I`ll call his broker instead.
The Broker as it turns out was not aware of the Agents behavioral patterns boarding on SON OF SAM, he too was a tad perturbed over the incident and told me, he`d handle the offer and make sure he rather than the SON OF SAM would deal directly with the seller. Today, I received a call back from the Broker, guess what! The Seller took our offer in a heart beat, was very grateful to have us close so quickly and offered to clean the carpeting for us! Anyway, SON OF SAM was told to stop acting like a little child and his broker wsan`t thrilled with this boorish behavior. I`m happy I kept my wits and realized that this agent was in Therapy!
