We got an offer on the house yesterday.
For $69,000.
Our gentle, kind, and godly realtor called Rob to say that while he was legally obligated to let us know of the offer, he absolutely HATES this kind of "bottom-feeder" who is trying to take advantage of the market's downturn in such a hardball kind of way. This sweet soul then told Rob firmly that he'd pass along any message, any message at all (wink, wink), that we cared to tell the bottom-feeder.
Herein lies the difference between Rob and I:
Rob's response: Haha! For that kind of offer, we'll give it to him for the lowdown price of $120K ($5K over our current asking price).
My response: YOU TELL HIM TO BLOW IT OUT HIS ASS.

I totally agree with Addie, Rob. Only I'd send him a picture of my middle finger - the one I had to use after my index finger blistered from caulking. That alone is worth $70,000 in my book!

umm i'm fairly certain i've made an offer on the house before. i offered a swift kick in the a$$ to take it off of your hands. all i remember after that moment was the hours i spent scrubbing the basement bathroom clean as a whistle.
tell 'em take that. no not the clean bathroom. take the swift kick in the a$$ (sorry momica) thank you very much!
I prefer response A over response R. Blunt is best for this and being nice will get you nowhere.
You could always give him the sweet insult back and say, "Thank you for your insulting offer but we will wait until we get a real one."
Yeah - you tell 'em!
yours is a little easier to understand, so it get's my vote
Addie - Your response just made me laugh so hard I almost spit my coffee all over my computer. I can totally see you saying that! Thanks for the laugh

bunch of blood thirsty pirates...
It's so easy to say hang in there! I've been praying for your house to sell and I am still wondering what can be done...but my gut says to hold tight...God has a buyer and for the right price! I'm sorry that I can't offer more than that! But I love you guys and I know God is in your corner!
