We got told on Friday at 3pm there was an offer 10k more than ours, but the mortgage advisor / money guy had gone home so couldn’t qualify the bid. If we upped our offer by 5k we could have it.
Thought about it for an hour or two: as a seller if there is actually a higher offer why the fuck would you not just ignore us until Monday when it can qualified? Total horse shit, not even the logic makes sense. Also, who goes home at 3pm on a Friday?
I thought about all sorts of ways of calling them on the lie (calling the mortgage bod myself for instance - oh - u still in office lol) but in the end what’s going to happen if I actually catch them at it? Nothing. We went the extra 5k. Jokes on them. We lowballed to start with.
