Hi Gurus,
I have put in an offer for a resale condo listing which stated: “$xx negotiable”. Initially offered at a price slightly lower, but was pressured by the agent to put in a better offer. As such I put in an offer at the listing price.
The agent was coming up with all sorts of reason to delay the update to me and now I found out that the listing had changed to “$xx starting from”. He is also continuing to allow viewings. Separately he updated me that the buyer will make a decision in a few days (after conducting the last round of viewing).
I felt that this is very unethical and they are basically using my offer (given cheque) to raise the purchase price. Is this an ethical conduct and is there any breach of conduct that is liable for punishment?
How can i also make sure that I still get the offer accepted?
