The date is what my client requested. I am diplomatic, and not “bully-able!

The date is the date. Play along like the other nice kids or find another playground. Good luck to you Mr. Bully - your comeuppance will happen shortly.

Lyn Sims said it perfectly

My personal opinion is if the sellers have established a deadline it needs to be adhered to... or you need to notify everyone the deadline has changed.  It is always the sellers call of course but in the interest of fairness everyone needs to play by the same rules. 

And, BTW: I am bully proof!

"Impress us and find out" is what I tell them...but you better wow us!

The seller has instructed for this deadline date.  If you want to offer them well above list with no loan, inspection or appraisal contingencies, they may take your offer before then.

I have never used a contract deadline date.

Addressed in our listing agreement.
We have a multiple choice checkbox for how to address multiple offers. At listing, we discuss and decide whether to ask for highest and best, go at them individually or decide at the time of the offer. And that's the one we always select.
The buyer's agents saying if you got a really good offer would you take it right away have not submitted an offer, correct?
They're attempting to bait you by speaking in theoreticals, then they'll hold you to the answer as if it was gospel.
So my answer is, get off my phone and play by the rules, and we'll decide when we decide. And the seller can change horses midstream if they want to.
Just take your best shot out of the gate.

I'm not quite sure of your question but I answer questions about offers as I have discussed them with my client. PS I read your question multiple times and I am a bit flummoxed. Maybe, it's just me.

My response to “bully offer” (First time I have seen that term. We call them “preemptive” offers.) is to say: “If your client wants to wire in the cash for an all cash offer with no contingencies at twice the list price, I will urge the seller to accept it. Otherwise, everybody gets a fair shot come the deadline date.”

#1. No discussion needed in the absence of an offer. "Let me SEE the offer you are about to make?"

#2. The seller has made clear their preference. All things are negotiable and come with a premium.

#3. A really good offer will be looked at on the date published which in when the owner will emerge from the 2 mile deep bunker to which he has been sequestered or any other reason the seller chooses of offer.

#4. I LOVE THE BULLY!  i.e. The game is afoot. The secret is present no opposition or agreement and they will lead themselves off the cliff.  Which means there was no real offer.

This mornings report from Miami of the two broker bullies who had a show down in court. Extortion, a prime tool for bullies.

 Agree with Candice A. Donofrio

YOU and the sellers make the terms..if they dont like it..too bad...most likely an agent who wouldnt be pleasant to work with anyway

If the seller set a deadline, that is there desire. Live with it or move on!

It's up to the seller to accept the offer he/she likes best.

      If I am the Buyer's Broker, I am going to present the offer, then the Seller can either accept it or reject it.  We aren't playing "deadline games" in this market; there are too many other houses for sale.

Never had to deal with that.   LOL

Be that very good offer....problem solved

I have no problem ignoring bullys.

we don't use deadline dates from the seller....  the offers can come in until one is accepted...

I'm following sellers instructions until they tell me otherwise in writing.

We discuss that possibility with the seller up front. Typically they say, if the offer is $X or more, I want to see it. Most are willing to wait for the deadline. 

I've used the bully offer successfully a couple times with buyers who were strong and tired of being beaten out by a few dollars.  

Ultimately it's up to what your seller instructs you to do with them.

Maintain control.

If they do get a really good offer, it worked and the seller is happy and I am happy.

We do see bullies on occasion, but with a deadline date in the MLS, you can stick to it.

I tell them they already got a really good offer

I have said that if we get an all cash offer with no contingencies and a quick closing at or above list price and the agent is reliable the seller would most likely accept it.

I get asked if the seller will look at preemptive offers. This discussion is had with sellers before we go on the market.  Whatever the seller decides is what buyer agents are told.  Most often, the response is ... seller will not entertain preemptive offers.  Seller will review all offers on such and such a date and such and such time.  You may expect to hear back from me regarding offer status no later than [date] by [time]. 

We do not play that game

The seller will consider all offers and reply after the deadline has been reached

David Martin (703) 585-4687 - you got to do what is best for the clients - deadline or no deadline.

We submit every offer to the seller in a timely manner per Idaho state law, it's their choice how they respond, not ours. -K

Good luck.

I am a little confused.

I don't really understand your question.

"Present it and it's up to the Seller"...

That is why I do not put deadlines for initial offers. ONLY if we are doing a highest and best offer. When i list a home, the first great offer can take it some days. Full price or higher, no contingencies all help the seller
