I recently submitted an offer on a place in Park Slope. After 3 open houses, I submitted an offer below asking and was told my offer was the first. The next day, I was informed that there would be a Friday EOD deadline for all offers and the seller will accept the highest or most qualified offer. I chose to stand pat with my bid even though I was told by the broker he was confident it would go at asking or higher. I get an email with another apartment coming to the market from the same broker. When I navigate to the page to check out the pictures, I noticed the property I have a offer on, is having an open house Sunday. WTF? Is this common practice? I am seriously considering pulling my offer because I think they are using it as a way to get higer offers. Would I be crazy to go to the owners directly and talk to them? Anyone here encounter a similar experience? What did you do and what was the outcome?

Thanks!!
