It sounds to me very much like the agent is either planning to buy the place himself or orther wise has a mate lined up to buy it. His hostile attitude seems very unnatural for an agent. Mostly they are keen to help and interested in supplying information.
I’m please to hear that you’ve made contact with the owner, but if you’re told there’s someone else interested I would consider that threat quite plausible.
I’d always been of the impression that “species” were for builders and tradespeople. Is there enough margin in them for “laypeople” to take them on? (Freedomfighter?)
