Yes, and I had to take a step back and have one of my other agents write the second offer to assure everyone that they were being represented properly.

Same here had situation very similar. In most cases either one of them liked or not liked the home.
In handful situation were I have written I did disclose that I am submitting an offer on behalf of another buyers without disclosing the offer details.

I tell the second prospect I can only represent one group. I can find them another agent to represent them serving their interest.

Yes, several times.  I wrote each offer as the client wanted it.  Neither got the winning bid

Yes, it actually happened a lot in the Great Depreciation of 2006-2011 with many of the short sales. Has not happened much these days. I wrote them according to that specific buyer, gave the best advice that buyer needed; therefore every buyer being unique, received different strategies based on their loan & cash situation, not the other offer. It was easier than it sounds.

One time (2007) I was house shopping in the same budget as one of my buyers; she used to say "don't you dare offer on this one, it's mine!"  We were actually looking for different criteria, but I would tease her with "wow! I really like this house, I need to show it to my bride!"

. 

I have shown a property to multiple buyers, but have not yet had more than one of them make an offer.  I'm sure that will happen eventually.

No, i have shown several buyers the same property but never had more than one buyer want to write an offer on the same property.

Yes, several years ago.  It was a foreclosure property and of course it went to highest and best. One of the buyers increased their offer, the other didn't.  Not sure how many offers were received but my buyers who increased did get the house.

Sally & David,
Sometimes a listing is so good that I have had more than one client that needed to see it. So far, I haven’t had to write competing offers.

No 

I've never written an offer on one property by two different buyers at the same time.  I avoid running into the dilemma as best as possible.  Should it ever occur I'd refer the second client to another agent to write the offer.  It is too much of a conflict for even me to handle.

Yes, this has happened to me once in the past.  I had my partner write the offer for one of my customers after explaining the situation.

Yes.  I am mostly a buyers agent, I have shown the same listing (not one I represented) to over 5 different buyers before.  I work with a lot of buyers and feel fortunate to have the steady business I have earned.

Yes, and once it was four clients who had gotten to know each other at a party I had.  I thought they were trying to tease me.  I showed it to each of them over a period of months, and all four said no way, until one day. . .

I told all four of the that I would represent the first one to give me a signed offer with an earnest money check, and then I would refer the others to trusted colleagues.

Then we found out there was a hole the size of a refrigerator on the roof. They all bought other houses - different ones.  All from me.

Sally K. & David L. Hanson No, I never have.

Yes. It was on a shortsale. I disclosed that I was working with different buyers on the same property. 

Sally K. & David L. Hanson yes, happened once.

Luckily, one of the buyers realized later that home is not facing the 'desirable' direction!

Not in many years. Ourt old broker relationship would have that as a violation, but now that we are transactional brokers in Oklahoma we could do that, but it violates my ethics.

Yes and had to have someone else write it. 

Yes. It has happened once -- there were multiple offers and one of my buyers was successful.  

I have had more than one party want to write an offer for the same property.

But, in all instances only one stepped up to the plate.
