    You haven't read the whole thread, have you?

    People have already suggested many ways to 'deal with the situation' ....

    I have read the comments. I am just not sure that reminding people that their request to make you see a broker of their choosing before offer submisson is not legal is helpful. I suppose I haven't got a sales personality - but if someone reminded me that I had been caught in an untruth , I 'd find the situation difficult. How can you deal with someone that you have caught lying to your face. I have to deal with some terrible lying saleman at work and always try to go down the 'win/win perhaps you misunderstand me route' as waving contracts in peoples faces hasn't solved much in the past.

    I'm not critiquing peoples approaches , I guess there maybe isn't a right way to do it.

    We were in this situation a few years ago. The E.A. even came out with rubbish like it is a legal requirement under money laudering regulations.

    Although my wife was emotionally attached to the house we wanted to purchase we just walked away. As we found out, there is always another and better house round the corner.
