I agree that the same listing agent should not withdraw and re-list the same property for this purpose. A price change can be implemented without withdrawing the property, except in cases where an owner has truly advised an agent to withdraw a property for a period of time and does in fact take it off the market. I don't think this can be avoided however, when the property is withdrawn and re-listed by another broker which occurs frequently as well since the new broker has no choice but to re-list as a new listing. I think the solution is just as you suggested: retain the services of a buyer's agent and ensure that they pull a proper history on the property so that you can adequately evaluate the property and make an informed decision. - Mon Jun 9 2008, 20:25
