I've had a similar conversation with my agent in the past, and the answer was to create a bidding war. Once you have one real offer you can go back and counter to all of the others to see if they'll go up, and then rinse and repeat. That isn't a story too hard to sell. The other thing about this one is that it was fixed up, so it could have been a flip. However I didn't go track down the real estate records to know for sure.
