My realtor called this morning to tell us that the listing agent requested the first three pages of our offer.  He wants to try to do the deal "a different way"  not sure what that means and I used to be a realtor lol....Meanwhile the bidding has gone up by $10K which is still less than our offer and honestly I think the agent (different agent for auction) is placing those bids just to stir up interest.  My husband finds it very interesting that  there has been absolutely no interest in this property for a year and the day we write up our offer someone bids on it.  We shall see how this goes.
