Can the selling and buying agents from the same company see each other’s info?

My agent told me the same thing. I told him to ask anyways, “you might be surprised”. The other agent then told him. This was before acceptance however. Your agent might’ve been able to get more info but it seems like they assumed it wouldn’t work and never even attempted to ask.

But it really doesn’t matter. You still have leverage.

Hypothetically, let’s say you offered $10K more than the next buyer. If you ask for a $15K repair (and it’s backed up with inspection reports), that’s not necessarily meaning the seller will refuse and go to the next buyer. Remember, the next buyer will do inspections. If the seller and sellers agent are not fraudulent, they will share your inspection reports with that next buyer in line, and that next buyer may or may not ask for a credit. The seller is taking in that risk to go back to market, because the next buyer could ask for more or could disappear entirely.

Agents don’t keep a database of unaccepted offers at my company. Asking the other agent to tell you is the only way. The rules are pretty tricky with what you can say, so many agent error on the side of saying nothing. For example, it’s 100% unethical to say “my client would accept $xxx amount for the house”, but if you say “we have three offers and the amount of the highest offer is $450k”, I don’t think this is a violation, but some agents have a differing opinion.
