I have no concrete proof of anything. Once upon a time I was told Asset managers, (and even negotiators for short sales) somehow get rated for performance partly based on closing prices.
I don’t know if there is a grain of truth to that at all. I don’t know if it is only the closing price or it is the net of the proceeds.
Anyways one would have to talk to the agent to get the real story. JP you can sniff that stuff out, call the LA and act like an interested buyer and see what they say.
