We made an offer on a property above the listed price, the only other offer was lower than ours, the property is being sold by a bankruptcy trustee, how can they not take our offer and want it listed still for a few more days? The offer was cash not contingent on financing.

You want the South Dakota Real Estate Commission, but, for some strange reason you have to sign up to get onto that state's Web site. Very strange. Anyway, I know of no real estate laws that dictates what offer anyone has to accept. AFTER a contract is signed there are some binding issues, of course, but until that contract is signed, everything remains negotiable.Money doesn't always talk.
