Met with a cash buyer who wants to provide earnest only when an offer has been accepted, and pay only at closing for having found the deal....how much can one negotiate terms of such agreements?

Finally made an offer; was refused (wasn't seen as a "serious" offer because it was so low); am now wondering where realtors get comps (and where I can get what she gets) cuz hers and mine were so different - and she had so many more properties show up in hers!

Also wondering how one spots the good deals on paper or on sight and then gets comps and an offer prepared and presented - FAST! For the last four weeks, it seems as soon as I find it, drive by (to check out neighborhood, get a glimpse of what might be needed in repairs, etc.), find comps, compute offer - it's already pending! This is driving me crazy! The ones that are pending are the ones I was pursuing, so I must be doing something right - but where is it going wrong!?
