Its not always the best price that gets the property, terms and conditions will play a big role as well...as a listing broker myself I can say that I may sometimes 'exaggerate" the situation to help move things along and get people to put pen to paper...on the buy side I have structured offers in a way that the terms and conditions have trumped price in multiple offer situations...it also depends on the brokers involved and relationships that I have with them, ie. knowing that they other broker can get it done vs. a newbie with no experience that needs hand holding...just my opinion !

Meanwhile, my wife - then girlfriend - was still a junior in high school...so, even though I had often considered myself to be really frugal, I just wasn't at a point in my life where financial planning was a priority and was sort of thrust into an income that I quite exaggeratedly didn't think required me to be so frugal anymore.  

Not exaggerating.

Without exaggeration every time i advertise a unit I get worked over by ESAs and most are college students.

Plus you never know when another deal will come up so you don't want all your eggs in one basket. this is an exaggeration to prove a point, correct?

To say he was tarred and feathered might be an exaggeration.

Yes, and I've also been told by people who work for USPS - including my postmaster - that that is all lies and exaggerations.
