Seller's agent unscrupulous?

[Zachary Lowe]

Real estate is one of those areas where you have an unlimited opportunity to meet very interesting people to say the least.  Thought I'd pass on the following example:

Day 1: emailed seller's realtor asking for any financial information available for review and asked if the motivation behind the sale was known.

Day 2: realtor responded saying he would email me on Day 3 with info.

Day 3: nothing

Day4:  I followed up

Day4: received info and  "I've been overwhelmed" apology.  I had no hard feelings. Also was told "seller not highly motivated" and sellers agent was a partner in the property also.

Day5: I submitted offer.  

Day 5: Sellers agent responds to my email and included all his partners CC'd to which partner A becomes upset with agent for telling me "not highly motivated" etc and would prefer in the future to just say will consider all offers because he is highly motivated and wants out.

Sellers agent responds: "I am not highly motivated to consider this type of offer. I told the prospect on the phone that I did not like this type of offer, but I would pass on to other partners. He continued to “harp” on the phone with wife yelling in background that surely we would be highly motivated since their logic of seller financing was so great"

Now, the reason I am writing this post is because this was an absolute fabrication by the seller's agent.  I have never talked to this person before, our only interaction is listed above.  I can only imagine that parties involved did not realize I was CC'd on their emails.  It really makes me wonder what kind of things are said behind closed doors.

Just thought I'd share.
