No idea why the agent is pushing them to list at less than they accepted. That is the crazy part and i would think puts the agent’s license at risk (as well as this sale). Countering an over asking price by asking for more is bewildering. I would not be surprised if the offer blows up because of this response.
Offers over asking has been the norm since rona and during the last real estate bubble (early 2000’s) in many, many markets. Nothing unusual about that.
