So I went to an open house that had several agents all in same office as the listing agent. House was a flip and I suspect listing agent was also owner. I was interested in making an offer. House was deliberately underpriced for attention. I asked how much the seller really wanted (20 percent above ask) and i offered that with no contingencies outside inspection. Two days later I get a high pressure phone call with this realtor and the listing agent (again, same office) stating that they will make a decision tonight and an offer came in 25 percent above ask ("blew yours outta the water" – appealing to a sense of competition), I said I'm not comfortable going up but to contact me if things fall through with that offer. A week later I see the house still up and with an upcoming open house, texted the agent "Hey. Just seeing what's going on with the house, did you accept an offer" – secretly hoping the other offer fell through, and agent never replied. Are they pissed I didn't go up? Seems unprofessional to ghost me like that. The agent was so nice and responsive before, guess that was a phony display for the $$$.

They want 25% above. You said you said no. They still want 25% above. There may not have even been another offer.
