Hi,
Two weeks ago, we found a property that we liked.
It had a price with a "plus" after it, meaning roughly 10% higher.
So we made an offer in the higher range of the 10% region and was then told that the vendor wanted a price that was 15% higher than the advertised price.
I asked if they were then going to change the advertisment to reflect our offer, eg $650 plus, instead of the advertised $595 plus?
They told me they only have to change the advertised price if I make a "written" offer.
I asked if I could come in and write up my offer, and they refused to let me!
I was under the impression that all offers had to be presented tot he vendor, and not just "verbal" offers?
