Working with a new buyer’s agent whose actions seem questionable, anyone else experience this before?

Examples include: 1) She’s Ready to jump on any and every property, regardless of how close it is to my vision. 2) Submits offers on my behalf without sharing the written documentation with me nor any details outside of the offer price that we agreed upon (not sure if this is a norm) 3) Has stated that sellers are not interested in bidding wars so my highest and best is what to lead with

Is this a new agent? Sounds like someone with their eyes on the commission who doesn’t understand that price isn’t the only thing that leads to a successful offer.

#2 seems the worst. How can you know what contingencies she is making or that you want to make. #3 might be true in that community. I made offers on 3 houses in 2021. None of the sellers countered for best and final. We lost in cases where our offer matched the winning bid.

Number 2 is the biggest red flag and can be very illegal depending on the state you are located. Find a new agent if this one is not listening to you.

Get rid of them ASAP. Where are you located?

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
