In short...  the seller's agent's job is to get the most money they can.  Especially in estate transactions that is often done by releasing the amounts of offers to people with emotional attachments and possibly partial interest in the property.

You might have done little more than help some of the heirs set the price they will have to pay to the other heirs to get the property.

Also if an agent says to the seller... "I know someone who might beat this offer if I tell them how much it is..."  all sellers will say tell them.

@Aaron M.  Paperwork would not help.  If he wants to do something that inappropriate he would simply hide it from you, if you made him sign something. 

@Mark Ferguson   I have reported people.  Two of the properties were in the middle of assemblages I was trying to complete.

Many people do not even occupy HUD homes that were sold as owner occupant. I have seen for rent signs in yards before the properties were even close on.

If I did that, I would be fined the $200,000 plus, they would keep my money, plus they would take the house, plus put me in jail... but basically none of that ever really happens to people.

@Brandon Hall

I always look at it like this.  You got the money when you took out the loan.  You just wait to consider it as income until someone else pays it back for you.

@Mona Medina  I originally forgot to include your name.

Some investors like new agents.  They might like a person that is willing to work harder for less money.  That would be a new agent.

This post is timely.  Someone last night posted about providing high speed internet in their rentals.

@Brent Coombs  I agree with all of that.  I just thought you did not think it was worth asking about.  To me it is worth asking about.

With a good enough property and a high enough interest rate any program can work.
