Hi Igor,
This type of thing happens frequently, especially if the home was very well priced or under-priced.
In NY State, the law requires that ALL offers be presented to the seller up until time of closing, a fact that is unfortuantely often set aside by agents in a misguided effort to be "fair" to another buyer.
As far as the agent rejecting your offer,. unless he/she was specifically authorized to do so, the agent would be acting outside of their fiduciary obligation to the seller.
That being said, once a seller accepts an offer from a qualfied buyer, and is well into the process (i.e. already past the home inspection), they are usually reluctant to throw away the first offer in favor of a seemingly better deal, as the seoncd offer doesnt alaways work out and the seller could easily find themselves 'back to sqaure one' with no buyer at all.
I would agree with Debbie's advice to contact the Broker and inquire about what might have happened. If that doesnt' work and you still feel that you were treated unfairly or that the agent acted outside his/her authority, you can always contact the NY Dept of State, which oversees real estate licensees, and they will advise you as to your options for filing a complaint. (The DOS takes complaints of this type very seriously and will absolutely follow up on your behalf).
You were correct to hire a buyer agent to represent you, but in truth, many listing agents dont really understand how buyer agency works and the fact that they have a legal obligation to cooperate with your agent when an inquiry is made on your behalf.
Sorry to hear this didnt work out for you, but hang in there, I'm sure the perfect house will come your way sooner rather than later...good luck and all the best!... more

Dear zanmet:
Go on www.PropertyShark.com and pull out the details on the property you are considering, you get lots of info there.
Then go onto NYC.gov and connect to Building Information System (BIS), you can use this link: http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/bsqpm01.jsp
Building Information System will show you the certificate of occupancy if there is one and also if there are any violations on the property (caution...sometimes there may still be a certificate of occupancy on the property even if it states that none are available!).
Then you can go back to NYC.gov and connect to The Automated City Register Information System (ACRIS), you can use this link:

As far as questions for the agent...
1) What is the annual rent roll?
2) What are the annual expenses?
3) What is the net operating income?
If I can be of further assistance or if you need help locating a good property to purchase please let me know. Good luck!
Sincerely,
