* Access to deposit.
* 3 months rent free.
* Transfer of all services into my name at settlement and I would foot the bill in the 3 months they were living there.
The above 2 points were for tax purposes.
* Access to a single LUG (the property had multiple garages) while they were looking to buy in those 3 months - their garages were used for storage of goods as they owned no cars.
I made the mistake when making my initial offer verbally that I was a cash buyer after being reminded to arrange my finances before sending my offer by email.
Agent indication was $650-$700k. If they really wanted to get the best price for their vendor me they could have called me back for a counter offer and got a reply in 10 seconds.
Still think their agent did the right thing by them?

What did the eventual buyers offer apart from the extra 15k?
