Don't share your buying budget when speaking with an agent.
A better approach is to be property specific, as in "I would pay a maximum of $900,000 for this property."
If you're asked to expand on your reasons, great!
If you're advised that this amount is short of the mark, great!
Either way, the agent's response will indicate if you're in the ballpark to offer or you need to move onto the next property.
