Did you offer in writing? Ignore the agent. If it’s in writing,
regardless of what the agent says they have to show the owner. It’s up
to the owner in the end in terms of what they will accept. Even better,
if you want to get it at “your price”, sign a contract with a 0.25%
deposit. The agent has to show them! If they do not accept your offer,
well you get your deposit back. No loss to you at all. Let us know how
you go.
