We held our open day on Saturday, which drew lots of interest. It was on at offers in excess of X. We had 4 offers, one at asking, one slightly over and 2 five grand over, one of whom was not proceedable.
I was thrilled at this and keen to accept the top offer, but the agent said they’d be ringing round the 3 contenders for full and final offers, so not to accept until close of business. At 5.55 last night I rang them and there had been another asking price offer, but nothing else had changed. We happily accepted the top offer we’d wanted to go with anyway.
I’ve just had a guy knock at my door really upset with a letter for me (naturally I’d just got out of the shower so hair like a mad thing and no glasses on) saying that it was only today when he’d rung to check on the progress of his offer that he was told we’d accepted another, that he wasn’t told there was a higher offer on the table and he was desperate to see if we’d let him offer more now. Of course I can’t, I’ve accepted elsewhere, so I’ve just said if it falls through I’ll text him but I’m actually quite cross that not only did the EA treat this poor guy like crap they didn’t seem to try and get highest price for us anyway?!
