To attract buyer's agents, many banks offer a larger percentage of the commission to the buyer's agent while discounting the REO listing agent's commission. Buyers with all cash are REO lenders' favorite purchasers. A list-price all-cash offer will beat out a conventional offer, even if the conventional offer is above list price. If the listing's conditions state "cash buyers only," it is unlikely the bank will consider an offer from any buyer who is relying on financing.
