    [quote=infoseeker]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[/quote]
    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.

    BTW.. we didnt ask for the information, they volunteered the information while counter-offering.

    Just because there was higher offers doesnt mean they were better. Perhaps they were higher FHA/VA offers and they went with a conventional offer. Perhaps they had a higher offer but that buyr walked. I’m not defending the guy/gal but unless you know all the backstories (which you never do) its tough to say whether they were bluffing or not.

    I explored renting from a woman who turned out to be a Realtor; she said she would “have to consult with her clients” regarding my offers before accepting them, implying she was renting the place on behalf of the owners.

    Turns out, looking the joint up in SD County Tax/Treas website, she is the owner.

    Hmmm.

    I did not rent the place.
