[Woodworkers] I put in an offer...

[Dave Howerton]

 I'm pretty sure realtors aren't supposed to be sharing offer with anyone. Either way, it was a crappy outcome.

My condolences, Steve...

Sorry about that. Hard to beat an inside deal

Well, sad to say, I guess it wasn't meant to be. 
We were buying from the US government, and there were some really weird things going on. We had to submit our bid twice. We went way over asking price and still got outbid. 
Originally there was one bid from a friend of the listing agent, and it was below asking price. The listing agent made sure to tell us he already had an offer on the property, and wasn't really that interested in showing it. We still looked at it and made an offer over asking price, then did the waiting game. They finally came back and asked all interested parties to make another offer, which is weird. We put in our second offer, higher, last Sunday. 
I have a sneaking suspicion that the buddy of the listing agent was privy to all of the offers and was able to come in over the top at the last minute. To my calculations, it would cost between $50k and $100k to get the house fixed up really nice. There is also about $100k worth of harvestable timber on the property. I'm guessing that the buddy has plans to come in, harvest the timber, fix up the house, sell it, and make a nice profit. 
Maybe it's for the best. 
Regards,
-Steve
