I actually had their number in my contacts already which was odd.

I found the site through the podcast, actually.  

I was hoping to find something very clear online about what it actually means more specifically, but am having no luck.So normally, under that standard languaging, if consent is requested to assign a commercial lease, does "performing a standard screen/background check on the new would-be tenant, as if it were a completely new application for an unoccupied space" count as something I can legitimately do?

Is there a way you can change the number say higher for what you actually purchased for?

@Nick Rice, I actually don't know squat about the market in your area, so I'd defer to your agent. :) 

I did not realize until today, Monday August 22, when I checked the documents again, that the seller's "withdrawal" of his offer to sell his property was not actually a valid withdrawal - that in fact I had all day August 19 to accept his counter.It seems clear to me now that the seller was eager to send written notice of withdrawal of his counter offer because he had received a better offer and was chomping at the bit hoping I would not accept by midnight August 19.My question is - is there anything I can do here?

Actually, when I saw this thread we were busy writing a blog for our owner, David Panzera's blog here on BP.
