Hi,
I had an interesting experience recently with an auctioneer. I have been looking at properties over past couple of months.
This particular house was up on Daft, however no pictures were added. I contacted the autcioner after ~1week of it being released for sale.
He didn't return the call, however I followed up with a 2nd call later the same day. He explained that he did not want to show me the property, as there were already two cash bidders who had already viewed the house, the bidding already being above what seller wanted, so he basically said he didn't want anyone else being involved, especially as I may have to sell before I can buy. He said it was very unusual for bidding to be this hot, stating that the people really liked the area and were waiting for right property (we are talking countryside outside Dublin, not D4)
My thoughts are he is either

My thoughts are he is either
- he just wants a quick sale to get commission, however is not acting with best interest of the seller as not advertising the property well, unless he is already under clear instructions from them to only accept cash bids (which he didn't state)
- he is protecting the property from interested parties as he/friend/relative have an interest in purchasing it on the cheap
