Do listing agents always BS about offers?

Remember, were talking about Realtor’s here…

Although I do recall my agent telling me not to buy in Temecula – I do believe he was actually giving me good honest advice.[/quote]

As much as I hate to admit it, Paramount’s cynicism is not wrong.

Remember, its easy to lie (or at least mislead) verbally.
Harder and more risky to do in writing.
If you want an answer that is more likely to be accurate, email the LA and ask directly if he has any written offers under review.

Good luck.

In all the 3 offers we made so far the listing agents bluffed via email about other offers being higher than ours :). 2 of the 3 houses went below what they said they had the offer for… 1 of them is still in market

If you have the balls to ask via email and they have the balls to lie, then sack up and email for an explanation. However I recommend doing so in calm and inquisitive way that does not make you look nuts.

Wow that post had more scrotum references than usual.

The correct approach is to state they have a “better” offer, which is legally correct. “They threw in 2 tickets to Manilow concert, which is priceless, but worth at least 10K.
