| A pox on you and the sellers. Especially for not calling us for our final and best offer after we speak hours listening to your bullshit. I hope your old asses fall down those stairs, and I know you ain't got good taste. |

| Sellers dodged a bullet. Maybe they knew what they were doing. |

| Wait, you talked to sellers? And what BS was discussed? Sounds like they were stringing you along to play some other patsy. Did you offers have expiration times? |

Don't know, if sellers had some song and dance, maybe OP buyer was lucky one. |

this is exactly what happened to us. i wonder if it was the same dishonest realtor, OP?
i refuse to work with this realtor again. sneaky and unprofessional. i wouldn't blame the buyers though. they probably did not know how everyone was getting played. |

| So unnattractive (this attitude)... it's frustrating but some day someone may return the favor in your direction, so get over yourselves. |

I have a lot of bitterness leftover from when we bought our house. Real estate agents in general are shady (of course, there will be a stream of realtors now on this thread who insist that it's only a few bad apples, but that's BS).
Add to that the fact that even seemingly nice, honest people suddenly become sneaky and dishonest when they go to sell their house. I was so incredibly disappointed by some of the things sellers lied about -- out and out LIED. So many games. It is really a disgusting side of civil society. |

| I don't get it. Why should the sellers have to chase you down for a better offer? If you wanted to go higher, put in an escalation clause. It seems like you want the sellers to ping-pong back and forth between you and the other offeror, watching you each creep up in tiny increments. If I'm the seller, I want finality. I set a deadline, and whichever offer is best gets the house. |

| Two realtors dominate our neighborhood and price-fixed it to create an artificial low. Houses on a very busy main road around the corner with smaller lots and homes list for 500k to 1 mil more. |

A seller does not have to choose one of these two realtors. If your neighbors are not happy, use a different realtor. Or am I missing something? |
