Every agent represent his/her client and do what's in the clients best interest.If another offer was coming, there is high chance that the seller has seen your offer but doesn't want to answer even with risk of your withdrawal I submitted a full price offer with financing and the listing agent told me on the phone she's out of town celebrating her birthday ;)I knew right away that another offer is coming.Sure enough, on Monday I've got request of "highest and best".Leveraging by my offer, she sold her listing to another agents buyer for cash and higher than asking price.If the agent knew that price is to sell, she doesn't have to accept your offer right away.....it's in her client best interest to wait - she knows what kind of activity there is on the listing....if there were like 10-12 showings in the first day, no way she'd advice her client to accept the first offer - she knows the listing will be sold higher than asking price.Comissions has nothing to do with that - it's literally few dollars for the difference in price.
