By saying something similar to this is doesnt give the seller any false ideas that you are actually going to buy the home and gives you a free pass if it doesnt sell.  

Sounds absurd doesn't it?  

In many cases, they don't even mention multiple offers, as it just doesn't matter.I usually agree with your responses, but the agent not only has a fiduciary duty to get the best deal for his client, but under the Realtor Code of Ethics, they cannot also give false information to another agent or party to the transaction.

He's been busted for teaching fraud in the inducement, fraud in the factum, false advertising, bait and switch, and illegally brokering without a license. 

Then your attorney can ask the cops to testify in your civil suit after he files a false report for trespass.

Find out the lien laws there, particularly anything related to "bonding off a lien", and the penalties for filing false liens.  

They are not capable of knowing how to, say, pay a higher price and still make a successful transaction, their only strategy then is how do I get a lower price, the more absurd the offer, the better in their mind.  

It's a business with an absurdly expensive cost in overhead relative to the rental income you get back.  

I am not an attorney - but logically;  this idea just has to be patently false.
