Sneaky Vendors

One point; the agent still selling (without an offer accepted) may not wish to withdraw from marketing. Seller may still be in their contractual period, agent may get nothing if they don't get a sale themselves. Sure, seller might refuse viewings, but agent may insist property still marketed to try & recoup something.
The text of the OP alludes to something like this might be happening. It's not always sneaky sellers/evil buyers and thieving agents...
They weren't in their contractual period, they simply failed to keep to the terms of the offer, which was to cease marketing/viewings.
Just comes down to wanting the highest price possible and having no qualms about misleading us about this fact. Had they been upfront we'd have not bothered with them in the first place.0 -
Did the vendors take the higher offer then?0
