Topic Title: Is my agent buyer agent trying to cheat me?

First Post:

Ive been looking at homes for about a month now. Ive had several buyers agents come and go. Basically if I catch them in a lie theyre out. Ive been with the same woman for 3 weeks but Im starting to question either her motives or her experience.

1st situation: I found a home I liked. I made an offer. I waited for a week. Then I was told that the home was in foreclosure and the bank wouldnt be making a decision for another 3 months. Despite the listing saying immediate occupancy.

2nd situation: Ive been waiting another week for an answer on a different house. I was told yesterday the buyer would be sending a multi-party counter offer by 5pm. According to my agent the counter offer didnt come.
She told me that shed get back to me this morning. Its now 2pm my time. Ive left messages on her cell phone, office phone, and email. She hasnt contacted me. Sooooo....

1. Am I being unreasonable to expect her to return my calls within 4 hours considering the circumstances.

2. Is she possibly trying to build tension and hype to get me to up the offer.

3. Should I contact the sellers agent directly (or is that a bad idea) if I dont hear from her soon.

Thanks Everyone.
