If the seller ends up selling their property to someone else do any of you ask what they got for the property? 

Lets say you have a lead that you continue to follow up with and one day you reach out and they say its no longer available and they sold it. Do any of you ask them what they ended up getting for the property or do you consider it rude?

I go back and fourth on it. I like knowing so it can help me with future deals but there are times i feel it is a little rude.

What are your thoughts?

@Brian Midden correct if I’m wrong, but you can check that info in a few days on Zillow once they updated the sale. You don’t need to ask ( I think ) I’m sure Zillow shows that information.

     I always ask if I'm interested. Out west in most jurisdictions it's public information anyway.

    Just look it up in the public record.
