There is:
1). Buyer's agent- who works exclusively for you. They legally can't disclose any of your information, just like your doctor or lawyer.
2). Seller's agent- who works exclusively for the seller. Same rules.
3). Dual agent- who represents the buyer and seller. All information is considered legally public.
Number #1 rule to investing in a 30 year obligation=Don't fall in love.
Your Realtor(TM, look it up) may know something, and is trying to help you,....after raising the price.
This behaviour may indicate problems with Title(past taxes due/ownered by partnership/etc), or known problems with the property(not inspected/built with asbestos on natural spring/etc/etc/etc.), or other build issues.
Best to modify your bid with contingencies for inspection and title.
Written. Everything.
