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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
