OP does sound like an amateur at this. In what world does an agent have to disclose anything to you when you've not written a contract? Then coyly coming back to say "who says I didn't get the house" with smiley face. You made yourself sound like a tool.

Welcome back, Mr./Mrs. one hour offer!

Nope, new here, but it does sound like you don't know what you're doing.

Since we just went under contract on our third home purchase this week, results would suggest otherwise. But thanks for your valuable opinion on my competency.

I love the tongue-lashing from the agent who scolds OP by saying the buyer doesn't pay the agents' commission, the seller does. Uh yeah, technically, but no buyer = no commission.

Basic economics is about supply and demand. If five people in need of milk went to a grocery store and there was only ONE carton of milk for sale for $4.00, I bet one or more of those people would pay MORE than $4.00 for the milk just to get it.

This is true, but that doesn't mean any of those people should or would pay $10 to get it, if the most anyone else was willing to pay was $5. Supply and demand requires you pay more than the next highest bidder - not the maximum amount the product is worth to you, as the PP I was quoting suggested.
