When you made offers, were they with THIS agent? or your previous one?
Again, I too think it's reasonable to make offers on TWO houses, your
original post said FIVE, and that was what I'd questioned.
BTW, as you know, she and I talked for a bit after you two left. She asked
if you were planning on living here full time, and I told her you were, told
her that I was looking forward to having you live nearby.

I was using 5 as an over the top number, but why not 10, as long as
you're prepared to accept one? Makes me wonder why she would ask you about
us, rather than us directly? Did the word picky originate from her or you?
We liked our previous agents alot. Problem was they were 70ish and Summerlin
based. Their reluctance to submit our offer until months later cost us a
house we liked. A lower offer was accepted before ours got submitted.

"Picky" was my clumsy attempt at being concise here. It's not even
necessarily pejorative. It had nothing to do with our conversation. That was
a piece in passing, the rest of it had nothing to do with you or your buying
a home here. Everyone (hopefully) has their parameters, especially when
making a large purchase.
So YOU recognize 5 as over the top? so why take offense at my saying the
same thing? I'm really sorry you did so, because that absolutely wasn't my
intention and I apologize.
Did she submit your offers for you?

I didn't really take offense. I'm just a touch leery of my
agent. I hate the way business is done in Nevada. I'm used to logic and NY
action. What I'm getting is housewife brokers and the almighty "comparables"
ruling all. Damn lets just lock ourselves in a room and make a deal. I'll
take a breath and wait it out...

About a month and a half ago I drove around the area I'm shopping for
office space in and called at least six numbers posted on buildings
saying office space available. I never received one call back.

It boggles the mind.
