Yeah, you don't often know what people are doing behind their back as they represent something else to you. Years ago, I was trying to rent an awesome house with a bunch of guys. It was going to be a great place for a bunch of single guys right out of college to live. Almost a mansion. Not cheap, but we could swing it. The agent was all excited with our application and that we all had good credit, jobs and could pay the rent, and the day after we signed the application, they decided not to rent the house but to sell it instead.

I think they were using us as some sort of bargaining chip to get a reluctant buyer to commit.
