We are interested in a subsale unit, and we are negotiating the price with the owner through his agent. After a more then a month, we still haven't finalize the price.

The owner didn't respond to our counter offer for 3 weeks. The agent said he's out of country. Now the owner is back and the agent is asking us to issue a cheque to show our "sincerity" in buying the unit.

Question
1. Have you heard of asking for "sincerity" cheque?
2. Is this a worthy issue to complain to Malaysian Insitute of Estate Agents?
