Recently the online real estate community began buzzing (because the media was buzzing) about an agent who was being sued for not disclosing material facts. I read as some hypothesized, some passed judgement, and others invented names and scenarios to explain how they could see this become a trend. I remember reading and wondering why in the world would we assume the worst, disregard the fact that we do not know the facts, and jump on a bandwagon that could really care less about us as professionals- in fact, it’s a great headline when a Realtor is in trouble, and everyone needs someone to blame besides ones own self.
In case you missed it, the Agent was cleared of any wrong doing last week and I thought it was important to demonstrate that maybe in these types of cases it would be best not to fuel the bandwagon that would blame agents for all the wrong in this economy- maybe we too should look forward to the facts and then write. You may have already heard, but I think it’s worth repeating over and over again.Â
I’m just sayin…
