Hi Igor,
This type of thing happens frequently, especially if the home was very well priced or under-priced.
In NY State, the law requires that ALL offers be presented to the seller up until time of closing, a fact that is unfortuantely often set aside by agents in a misguided effort to be "fair" to another buyer.
As far as the agent rejecting your offer,. unless he/she was specifically authorized to do so, the agent would be acting outside of their fiduciary obligation to the seller.
That being said, once a seller accepts an offer from a qualfied buyer, and is well into the process (i.e. already past the home inspection), they are usually reluctant to throw away the first offer in favor of a seemingly better deal, as the seoncd offer doesnt alaways work out and the seller could easily find themselves 'back to sqaure one' with no buyer at all.
I would agree with Debbie's advice to contact the Broker and inquire about what might have happened. If that doesnt' work and you still feel that you were treated unfairly or that the agent acted outside his/her authority, you can always contact the NY Dept of State, which oversees real estate licensees, and they will advise you as to your options for filing a complaint. (The DOS takes complaints of this type very seriously and will absolutely follow up on your behalf).
You were correct to hire a buyer agent to represent you, but in truth, many listing agents dont really understand how buyer agency works and the fact that they have a legal obligation to cooperate with your agent when an inquiry is made on your behalf.
Sorry to hear this didnt work out for you, but hang in there, I'm sure the perfect house will come your way sooner rather than later...good luck and all the best!... more
It is always best to list with a broker, because eventhough you will have to pay their commission whcihc is usually 6%, you will be able to sell your listing at a higher price, since you will get a global exposure. And most of all. they will filter the good and solid buyer from the not so solid buyers.
Good Luck!

Camille,
You need a score of 640+ to get a mortgage. Go to Neighbor Housing Services in Staten Island for credit counseling. They are a great group. They will tell you what you need to do to get your score up. Listen to them and when your FICO is 640+ shop for a mortgage officer.... more
You really need to work out a budget with a mortgage officer. There is a big difference between condos and coops.
The sellers are allowed to pay for your closing costs up to 6% of the purchase price so don't let Robin scare you.... more

The guy is a broker at Plaza Real Estate Group.
And he quoted: "Two remaining desks in our new location. If you are interested or know of other agents, please check us out @ www.plazagroupnyc.com. Good Day*"
It clearly means he is recruiting.

If looking to sell, invite a few local agents from different realty companies and ask for a cma, comparative market analysis; review the data, ask opinions and go from there; cma's are provided free of charge by most agents, or consider hiring a professional appraiser.... more
