No
Sometimes a seller receives multiple GREAT offers on a house - but in the end they can only accept one of them.

It can be frustrating for qualified buyers who make strong offers to not be able to purchase a house that they love.

Sometimes, however...

1.  There are multiple buyers who love the house.

2.  There are multiple buyers who are very qualified to buy the house.

3.  There are multiple buyers who are willing to pay more than the asking price.

4.  There are multiple buyers who are willing to remove an inspection contingency.

Sellers in such a situation are typically delighted by the multiple strong offers -- but often find themselves having to say "no" to buyers who proposed very reasonable and strong offer terms -- because they can only say "yes" to one buyer.

To those sellers... congrats and good luck picking the best of multiple great offers.

To those buyers... condolences and know that the "no" you received may not have been a result of any deficiencies in your offer... just that there were multiple buyers making super compelling offers.
