COnly present it if the seller is home
DAsk the buyer's agent to increase it first

A listing agent has a duty to present all written offers to the seller promptly, regardless of the price or likelihood of acceptance. Only the seller has the right to decide what to do with any offer. Withholding offers is a serious violation of the agent's duties.
