When we have bought houses before, we put an offer in, the agent goes to the vendor with the offer and they either accept or counter offer.
However, this time we viewed the house on its open day, along with about 4 other couples.
I call the agent. I put offer in. Agent says that someone else has put an offer in but that ours is higher. (Doesn't say by how much)
Agent says that they are not going to call the vendor straight away and instead contact all viewers of the property on the open day to gather all potential offers and then go to the vendor with the offers for them to decide between them.
Is this standard in this type of situation with an open day?
The agent said that she would call me if anyone else offers higher than us, but surly that means that she has gone straight back to the other people who offered this morning to tell them about our offer.
Should I even believe that there is another offer on the table?
She said that she would aim to go back to the vendor with the offers around lunch time.
Im really anxious...

Have just put an offer in on a house - does this seem standard to you?
