Ultimately, a lot of your decision will hinge on your strategy and goals. 

The only thing I would think of is decision making.

We need a lot more information to help you make a decision.

If they aren't renewing, it is a business decision and I can't imagine what you might say to have them reconsider. 

With that information, make a decision.

As @Sam Grooms mentioned, we've competed (unsuccessfully) against them in the highest and best.Everyone has their "tricks of the trade".

To provide an example, I was previously employed in the legal department of HHM, which at the time was a an affiliate management company of a publicly traded hotel development/operation company where we managed  the portfolio of  hotels as well as provided 3rd party management services.

The decision to buy the first home wasn’t from FOMO.
