    We are trying to buy..

    We signed the offer papers on Thursday. The agent said she will deliver it that night or early Friday. She on Thursday that she will only be able to give it to the owner on Friday at 4:30. (Because the owner is working) Fine

    Then she called on Saturday and said the owner want to except but will have to get her solicitor to have a look at it before she can sign it AND the owner canceled the open home that was on today. (She said the owner is a bit emotional about the place)(BULLSHIT!!!!)

    So what did you think happened at 12:00 today when I drove past the place?

    Let me guess, today at 12 there was an open home?

    Yep, that's exactly the kind of thing that this new complaints board will be set up to look at. Happily you haven't wasted any money yet.

    First thing for you to do is call the company, and talk to the branch manager, tell him what she told you and did.
    If that doesn't sort it out, it's off to the toothless real estate agents compaints people. I don't know the details but the company could tell you!

    Good luck!

    They want more offers and play off one against the other. Problem is the owner has not accepted your offer.............and agent can keep the home on the market until the owner accepts an offer. You have two choices. You can walk away and withdraw the offer or you can still play the game. Me? I'd withdraw the offer and see what happens. If the agent comes back you know that your offer is the best one and you are in the driving seat. If you stay in the game how do you know that what your agent is telling you is the truth. You have been lied to once what is to stop that happening again?

    Walk and take a punt. There's heaps of housing and 'honest agents.'

    Document it all.... go visit the open home mate - that would have really got the shits up her.

    Sounds like the run-around to me.

    As Storm sed...

    A house we sold unconditionally on the same day it was listed, the agents still held two open homes the following weekends, even though it was sold... WTF??

    The new owner was there on both days for the entire open homes, probably putting people off...

    We were young then... now would have told em where to go...

    Confront her about her stories and see whats up... discuss with her bosses too!!!

    That's a very simple marketing ploy to try and get more contacts.

    We have a lot of older vendors that have their lawyers check offers before they except them not unheard of so probably all above board. If they get another offer they have to let you know and you have to sign a form stating that you are aware that it is a multi offer and be given the opportunity to increase your offer should you want to. As far as having a open home when she told she wasn't cant answer that one you will have ask her

    Take a video camera and have a dictaphone in your pocket. Confront her at the open home and then make a big show of switching off the camera for an 'Off the record' conversation meanwhile recording her answers on yer dictaphone.

    Then have a word with REINZ and anyone else - Fair Go, NZPA anyone who'll listen.

    Why not just visit the home owner and ask them if they like your offer?
