Here is my problem:
I put an offer in on a home last week Wednesday (August.29,2007), Finally on Friday, August.31,2007 the listing agent faxed a letter to my agaent stating that the home had another offer submitted that day. The letter did not state that the other persons offer was higher or lower than mine. All it stated was that I should at my discretion resubmit my highest possible offer, which I then bumped up my offer by $8,500 more. (Now my current offer is 5% less than the listing price).
I decided to do a little investication. I pretended to be someone else and called the listing agents office, and asked "Are there any pending offers and is the home still available?", they told me that there was no pending offers and the hoem was still available.
Am I being tricked into offering more money so that the listing agent can get more commission?
(My agent is my fathers friend, very trusting)
(THIS IS A BANK OWNED HOME!)
Should I heard a response form the bank yet?
