Northwest Washington Redfin Agent
Listing agent received notice that an offer was inbound on Fri at 12:00. Offer submitted Fri at 5:00. Claim was that listing agent and seller were both skiing and that response time would be slow. Notice provided on Sat at 7 pm that another offer had been received that was not a VA loan m, asking for the full 3% buyer agent comp but with otherwise “similar” terms.

Extremely unprofessional experience from Amanda Provost of Compass. …
