Hello SS,
I'd like to start a discussion about dirty tricks you've seen real estate agents use to try and push up prices etc.
I've dealt with one REA only so experience is limited but I did have an opportunity to see some dirty tricks! So far I'm enjoying the property game as it reminds me of a mixed game of poker and chess.
I presented an offer as discussed in another thread and told him we would not budge on price. We had the impression that the REA and vendor were desperate. At 21:27 last night I received an email from the REA saying the property was sold to a higher bidder. At 21:29 he called me to say the same thing "We cant disclose the amount right now but we can in due time *pause*".
At that time I gave him the Kthxbai and hung up. Calling the bluff on this one. So what have you seen? How did you identify the trick? What were some tells and how did you checkmate?
