Can my realtor put in an offer on a home that I put an offer for?

[Jessa Turner]

Can my realtor put an offer on a home that she showed me and helped me put my offer in? I know it’s a weird question but I have a slight feeling that she did. Is this legal ? What should I do?

Um...no. I am not sure it's illegal, but it's surely a breach of ethics or brokerage rules unless your offer was rejected first and you were not planning on going up on price. And even then, most brokerages would not be ok with this. What makes you think she did?
