The broker does not take a clear stance on financing. How to behave?

The OP is, as far as I know, an educator who no longer gets anything in her region in SH because everything is being converted into holiday homes. I don’t know what influence Hamburg has. But since Corona, everyone knows what would happen if educators pushed their market power through a strike in the same way. It may harm society, but it perfectly fits your attitude.

Why do you now want to discuss the meaning and possible harm of strikes here? Completely out of context!
By the way, in recent years we have had strikes here both in municipal daycares (collective bargaining in the public sector) and at a private provider (AWO). Traveling by train will probably be fun again this summer.

Housing and living are not simple dairy products, and reliability is also a value. Or would you find it good if the ordered & non-substitutable taxi to the airport informs you that there are now more interested parties and that if you don’t want to miss the flight, you now have to start bidding? And the airline and later the hotel as well?

If 100 people stand in front of a single taxi, exactly two things can happen:
1) the highest bidder gets the taxi
2) first come, first serve

In both cases, 97-99 out of 100 people come away empty-handed. So what now?

Your example sounds a bit like a planned economy. I cannot approve of that.

The real estate seller or his broker is not obliged by an ad on Immoscout to sell the house to the first interested party. On the contrary, without a notary, any prior interaction is irrelevant.
Morally, one could say, okay, whoever was quick should be served first. I think that is in many people and is basically handled that way. But I’d like to see you when you want to sell your property and within one day realize that tens of thousands more could be in it for you...

But I research such things in advance. I prefer to set the price higher and then go down. Anything else is quite unfair because it raises hopes among interested parties, takes up time... Unfortunately, it fits our times today.

That's exactly the point... When I sell something, I think of a price I can live with. If I don't know much about it, I get support. Here, the broker is even within the circle of relatives of the community of heirs. And if someone immediately says yes, then that's how it is. I don't have to compare it to yogurt, but maybe to a high-quality bicycle, horse, car, etc. For me, that has a really bad connotation and in terms of character, I would ideally say no, thanks, on principle. Without us. Hamburgers have always been well represented up here. The other federal states are also catching up strongly. Actually, locals only have a real chance if the municipality caps it. The model of the second home tax certainly doesn't work. Some municipalities are now requiring a primary residence upon purchase...

My husband has now been able to see the property from the inside as well. At least we are both now in agreement with the maximum bid amount. I also noticed that the stated living area is not correct. The agent included the laundry room and the barn/workshop (extension) as living space in the exposé. There is no heating there. Therefore, only 76 sqm...

The realtor stated the laundry room and the barn/workshop (extension) as living space in the exposé.

This is "not uncommon" for the widespread type of sleepyhead realtor ;-)

Good brokers are rather rare. I know two, but they don't get anything suitable in.

.. oh yes... The supposed well in the garden has now been revealed to be an oil tank..
And of course he doesn't know how much is left inside...
