i need more info. is it your agent who is upset or the seller’s agent? why is she hesitant? does she feel like it somehows lessens her reputation? I don’t get how there can be any hesitation or shame in playing hardball, walking away, coming back, looking for vulnerability, asking for things that may or may not be unreaosnable, etc. I am in uncomfortable confrontational situations daily. I expect people who are acting as my agent to be able to deal with me sometimes being unreasonable, and others being unreasonable, and always working toward making something happen. i would have a frank discussion with the aget and get it all ont he table. i would ahve zero trust, based on what i’ma ssuming is happneing here…
