I know a lot of people on this forum are making multiple offers throught their agent on properties listed on the MLS. I just spoke with my first real estate agent today. I am planning to make offers on a few properites that are listed on the MLS. My realtor said that she would need a copy of a $1000 check made out to her office and also my mortgage pre-approval letter. She said that she needs this so the other agents will take our offer serioulsly. I know this is standard operating protocol with retail buyers. Is there any way around this? What should I be telling my agent?
