Ok, I'll start.

"Maybe you should take one of them"

"So do I, each one lower than the last"

"Are any of them as riduclously high as your asking price"

Probably depends on your area. For me, we say nothing and watch the house sell to one of the higher offers. Actually, the most recent time it was "9 higher offers." You should see the looks on their faces when the house sells, and they get their 3%.

SIX PEOPLE! are going to live in THIS house?
What are they Guatemalan?
...well maybe this the neighborhood for me.

Then hang up.

"Why should I care and why are you wasting my time talking to me if you have better offers."

"Obviously you should take the higher offer, right?"

“If I were you, I would take the highest offer.”

" I'll Give ten dollars over the highest offer."

I once met the same realtor at a home, that went PENDING and back to ACTIVE within a month.

He said : "we have 4 offers already"
ME : "last time during the open house you said you had multiple offers, and house is back on the market."
Him : "hehee, yeah the offers fell through"
Me : "yeah sure buddy, we all know this MULTIPLE OFFER game" (I did a quotation with my hands for 'multiple offers' and walked out.

Felt pretty good!

Classic! As camping says, it depends on the area. In my area(94087), they most likely have 30-40% of the number they mention. when they say 6, it usually means 2 people have an offer. I could come back and see in the MLS later, it would've sold over 1k or 2k over asking. Its a good sign per se. It used to be 30-40K over asking, idiots!

"Over" 20 offers.... we said 'oh hell no'.
