Buyer’s agent had no way to know that another offer was received, despite the listing agent promising to disclose competing offers, resulting in a lost opportunity to improve the offer.

There is no transparent, real-time system for listing agents to notify all interested buyer agents when a new offer is received, leading to broken promises and unfair bidding processes that can hurt both buyers and sellers.
