Am very unhappy with the agents we're using to sell my late father's house. A number of very unsatisfactory things have happened so my db and I decided to bin them, change agents and we've put our notice in. Suddenly they're falling over themselves, 4 viewings since notice given & we've had an offer.
First offer was £18k under asking price; now they've upped it to £12k under. We've said we'd sell for £8k under but top offer is now -10k.
Agents are beside themselves telling me what a good offer this is, winter's on its way, the sellers won't go up, etc.
I think they're just desperate not to miss out on the sale before we swap agents. House is completely refurbished & in a lovely spot. It's only been on market since June & under offer twice before (both buyers pulled out due to not being told it has a septic tank by the agent which we had made very clear).
Am I just being unrealistic though? I've never sold a house before. I feel really pressured.

How cynical should I be with our (so far useless) estate agents?
