He asked me to look around the area first, if i like the condo, then call him again for a house viewing.
I told him I am a serious buyer, and I am prepared to pay close to the asking price. I have been inside the condo before (i have friends staying there) so I want to see the INSIDE of the unit before I can make an offer.
Then he asked me whether I am staying in the condo now, and told me the owner has rejected several offers already, that he needs to "screen the house viewers so not to waste his time and make the owner angry".
I asked him how would he screen the viewers? Do you want me to fax over my income tax assessment form? or my bank account statement? He then sounded irritated and hanged up.
I really like this condo, and there aren't that many units for sale in the market. This one is asking for a very reasonable price. So what do you all think? should I call this agent again? or should I forget about it and wait for the next available unit?
