They did not give us the option to make a higher offer which is odd,
plus we agreed on a price and went through with the paperwork


In my opinion, this is not right. The seller should certainly get the best
price too, however once they have accepted an offer, they should keep to
their word.

Might want to call the real estate person and ask if you can make a higher
offer. (If you really want the house.) But I would want to see the signed
offer the other buy gave them. (To be sure they are not just making up a
story to get more money out of you.)

If the house is not worth making a higher offer, be sure you can back out of
the deal. The other offer can fall through, then suddenly they may come back
and try to hold you to your original offer! Any by then you may have made an
offer on another house.

Someone told me to always make an offer so you can back out later for any
reason. There is no love in business. Protect yourself.

Ask lawyer about all this stuff. Good luck!
