The best advice to give you is to trust what you are hearing from the Agent. So many people don't trust
Real Estate Agents, but we have to have integrity and deal with everyone honestly. Sure, they may be
some Agents who are dishonest, as there are dishonest people EVERYWHERE. But, it shouldn't be
assumed. If you want to buy the home, you need to trust. Otherwise, you may end up without the house
you really want.
I work in Washington state, but I would suspect that your state has Escalation Addendums? Ask your
Agent to add that to your Offer - maybe it will help you get the house and only pay slightly over the current
highest offer (depending on what your maximum will be). In our state, we have to get the competing Offer
sent for the Buyer to see is legitimate, to enforce the Escalation.
Maybe that will help you to get the home you want?
