AITA for Checking a Seller Who Tried to Play Me?
I need to be real here, because too many of you are going through the same thing.
I had this seller, Corey. He said he’s firm at $220K. I didn’t even fight the number. I didn’t insult him. I just challenged his outlook — because buyers don’t pay sticker price.
Instead of answering me, he flipped it and accused me of playing games.
You ever been there? Busting your ass, asking a real question, and the seller attacks your integrity?
At that moment, I had two choices:
Let him control the frame and start defending myself.
Or hold my ground.
I chose the second. I stayed professional, laid out expectations, and then asked the only question that matters:
“So what are we doing?”
And you know what happened?
He went silent.
Here’s the truth:
Was he motivated? Maybe.
But his price was based on feelings, not facts.
If so many investors had already called, why hadn’t anyone offered close to his number?
And if he had so many options, why is he still responding to me?
That silence? It wasn’t a loss. It was clarity. It meant he knew he couldn’t defend his position.
Now I’ll put it back on you:
AITA for pressing him? Or was I right to call out the difference between fantasy and reality?
Because if you don’t learn to push back, sellers will drain you, make you question yourself, and you’ll start thinking you’re the problem.
You’re not.
Their feelings don’t change facts.
