Putting in an offer

When you put in an offer to buy a place, does the real estate agent have the ability to lie to you about other offers? We are being told that there is another offer on a place we are interested in, and I am just not 100% sure that is the truth.

But can realtors lie about this or is that not allowed? This is a reputable real estate agency.

Just curious- we don’t know how deceitful the agents can or can’t be.
