Owning your own home

Despite offering 50% over the price sold for in 2012, and significantly more than any other sale in the street for comparable property, our offer was the lowest of all bids received. Can't decide whether to raise or take chips off the table.

You are assuming that what the Estate Agent told you about the other offers is true... (if the other offers even exist)

Like the old joke - how can you tell if when Estate Agent is lying? ..... When their lips move.
