Bidding Wars

As you all know, Jay and I have spent most of our free time trying to find a place to call home. We found what we have been looking for. Great house, great neighborhood, amazing amenities, etc. We are now in a bidding war with the bank, since it is foreclosed and the bank now owns it. We send in an offer, they counter at list, we send another, they come 1000 off of list. I mean it has been sitting there since early April without any offers, and here we are trying to get it off their books. It is seriously amazing to me how someone can sit at their computer all day, not make any decisions on their own, and just recite what the computer says. Do you realize you would make quite a bit of money on each offer we have made? Instead of sitting down and strategically thinking through it, they do what the computer tells them to do. Banks could make quite a bit more money if they trained and allowed their employees to act on their behalf with the best of their ability. That is my rant on corporate America today! GIVE ME MY HOUSE!!
