🕵️♀️ Real Estate Secrets: Why Agents Sometimes Can’t Spill the Beans
From the desk of Laura Sellers — Auburn & Opelika’s top dog-loving realtor (just ask Hans!)
In this week’s comic strip episode of Real Estate Adventures with Laura and Hans, we’re diving into one of the more confusing (and often frustrating) parts of buying or selling a home — when agents go radio silent about offers.
🏡 The Scene:
Panel 1:
“Agent refuses to disclose if offers exist.”
Panel 2:
“Asks for feedback.”
Panel 3:
Realtor sips coffee with a smirk — “Sorry, I don’t have permission to answer that.”
🤔 So… What Gives?
This comic may get a chuckle, but it’s based on a very real part of real estate etiquette and law. Many agents can’t legally or ethically disclose the existence (or lack) of offers without the seller’s permission.
It might feel like agents are being vague or evasive — especially if you’re trying to figure out how strong your own offer should be — but in reality, they’re just doing their job. And doing it right.
As a seasoned, full-time realtor in the Auburn-Opelika area, I always act in my clients’ best interests while staying compliant with REALTOR® Code of Ethics and Alabama real estate law. If you’re working with an experienced professional (like me 👋), you’re getting honest communication, strategic guidance, and solid advocacy every step of the way — whether you’re buying or selling.
💬 The Bottom Line
If you’re frustrated by mixed signals during your home search or you’re wondering how to navigate this fast-paced market, you’re not alone. But don’t let uncertainty keep you from making a move.
