this buyer sounds like the tier z venture capitalist that walked from the unsolicited offer he made on my place last summer.

BTW It’s an understatement to say “South of Market is a bit ‘dead’”

Reminds me of French Quarter in New Orleans. Bourbon, Royal, Chartres, Decatur, etc., are great at night with lots going on, but if you walk on the streets perpendicular to those above in the same area, it actually felt a bit spooky.

It will just make the current buyer work harder to get their papers straight and talk to the lender more to get their loan, if they really want the house. If I were a seller, I definitely would want to see my agent do this.

honorable legwork for the benefit of the seller

How could it be anything but this? Buyers are liars.

The moral of the story:

if you are the seller’s agent, dont p** off potential buyers because you NEVER know when you’ll need BACKUP OFFERS.

BTW. I remember a couple of listings with somethjng like “offer under review – accepting backup offers”.

Any thought on that? ethics? honesty? marketing thoughts?

is this such an unacceptable insult to the potential buye’s offer? or is this honorable legwork for the benefit of the seller?
