Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I trawled through the pages this morning and didn't find anything similar. I know it's okay to ask for 7-14 days to consider an offer when it's come out of the blue. But what about when the agent read your full because you gave them a deadline in which to offer? Will they be annoyed they already sped up their reading and offered, and are now being asked for time to consider? Do they expect you to say yes or no, then and there on the phone in this situation?
I'm asking because I've got agent phone calls lined up between tomorrow and next Friday, and from feedback so far I suspect there will be a few more offers/phone call requests. I can't talk to everybody this week (a family bereavement means I'm travelling to a funeral on Friday, back on Monday). I don't want the agents I'm talking to this week to feel slighted, but I can't make any decisions until I've spoken to everybody next week. One agent in particular. Gah!
To my relief, the first agent who offered has very politely responded with an affirmative to my request for another week to consider/look over their contract. At first glance it's very confusing!
Thanks, oh AW gurus. I've been asking loads of questions lately and you've all been a great help in this journey!
