How many offers do you have? I can't count the number of times I answer my phone and am asked that question. First, I don't know which property the agent or buyer is asking me about because they don't identify it. Second, what difference does it make? What bloody difference does it make? Are you going to write your purchase offer any differently if we have 7 offers than if we have 22 offers?
If the question is do you have more than one offer, then ask that question. Don't ask how many offers we have because it doesn't matter, and it's not really any of your business.
Yesterday was a day to receive a ton of purchase offers. I'm not sure why it happened on a Saturday. I know that one of my listings had showings Friday morning, but that doesn't account for the other homes. I received a lot of purchase offers. When an agent has that many purchase offers, you can bet the agent is looking for a reason to suggest that the seller reject all but one.
