I know an agent that was in the Fairfax/Annandale area who was the QUEEN of this crap.  She would push the offers of her other clients on people.  She always had them write a letter to the owners of the house for sale too.  It turned my stomach because the ethics (or lackof involved).  It really should not be allowed.

OP here. To be fair, the letter was my idea, not the agent's. I've read that it can really help when the bids are close.

And I believe we had the best offer, though "not by much" according to the agent. I'll be the others bid the listing price, and/or asked for help with closing, and we beat them out by just a few thousand.[/quote]

Ask the agent for a copy of the competing offer.  If you are in Virginia and used an escalation addendum, the agent has to give you the competing offer. Either way ask. Even if an escalation wasn't used, it will put the agent on notice that you know what you are doing and make her hesitate to pull anything[/quote]
