I have loans with each of the 3 banks in town so they know I am not bluffing.

No that information is kept in confidence by the listing broker and the seller after the sale.Sometimes in commercial real estate after words a broker will send out an e-mail saying sold another one etc. and received this many offers with many above ask but will not go into specifics.I think what you are after is an absolute knowing you didn't overpay or the seller was bluffing.

They may be bluffing you...

how can one be certain they aren't bluffing?

Turns out the Hag was bluffing..

BLUF: I've never bought government-owned or commercial property, but I'm putting together an offer for one (government) and I'm looking for anyone else who may have bought/offered on state-owned and can provide their experience to help me frame negotiations.About the property: State (Virginia) owned property..currently in conservation and the County will convert it to Agriculture post-sale. 

She could be bluffing.

This should help you determine whether the seller is bluffing or not.If the sellers have received multiple offers below the number they want but are close to that number and have rejected all of them then you know they are not bluffing.If they have not received anything remotely close then they are probably just dreaming and being stubborn.You never know what a seller's true motivation is until they see something in writing.

The seller may be "bluffing" in the sense that they won't use our jacked up legal system that would require them to spend a LOT of money to force you to close, as you may in fact be contractually obligated to do, but that should not be your guiding light here.  

TL-DR/BLUF: seeking subdivision calculators/business planAfternoon all, I was approached by a mentor that has business connections to contractors and funding and is seeking a plan to see the numbers work.
