Even the counter offer could have been "sorry, we are firm". This didn't occur and that's my biatch....he is a POS. You don’t know the agent didn’t give the seller your offer though. The seller may have said he wanted to reject it outright without countering, so the agent may have just been trying to salvage the deal. Don’t get me wrong, many real estate agents are idiots, liars, a-holes or some combination of the three. Which this guy probably is because he’s most likely lying about the other offer. But I’m not convinced he’s just trying to scam you so that he can make another $500 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The listing realtor is a focktard and I used a different realtor to show me the property and make my offer. Miraculously, there's another bid. I ask my realtor if she can verify there actually is a real bid and was told "no". 99% guarantee this jerk is lying. Now I have no choice but to increase my bid (since I want it) and he gets more money. Total FOCKING scam. This is a small rural town and everyone knows he's a focktard. Bid versus offer. Bid or offer? Auction or not? you are so pissed you are flailing about using the wrong words bud. Take a deep breath. It will all work out. retirement is to be fun, not a stress. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you get the property. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
