Agents and owners play games all the time. It’s who blinks first.
I was helping friends find a rental. They have stellar credit and great jobs. The agent was playing hard to get and would not lower the rent (she said she had to submit to owner, have several offers, yada, yada). So they moved on to greener pastures.
Two weeks later the rental is still on the market at a lower rent. The same is happening with house sales. I guess this agent is not getting a Christmas commission check.
