Bank screwing with us?

[Jacob Kline]

I am talking with a motivated seller, very easy seller to talk with and seems willing to accept any reasonable offer. He has 60% equity.

He is telling me that the bank is “telling him things” that seem to make him feel that his hands are tied and cant sell.

Is there anything the bank could do, which would not allow him to sell?

Would the bank be herding him away from selling so they can take it?

Thanks
