One of my pet peaves is the lack of personal responsibility so often seen in real estate transactions. I realize “buyer beware” is a term from the past and “consumer protection” is the term of the day…but…
Some of the stories you hear in this business! The one about the buyer who wanted a house with a pool or a place to put one. He buys a house and then sues his agent because he couldn’t get the backhoe down beside the house to the back yard to dig the hole for the pool!
Another buyer tells his agent he wants room for his pool table in the family room. He buys a house and sues the agent because he doesn’t have regulation space around the pool table.
I never have heard the real story about what led to the “Errant Golf Ball” disclosure in the TEN PAGE Statewide Buyer & Seller Advisory. Obviously, some idiot bought a house on a golf course and sued the agent when a ball came flying through his window knocking his aunt Mildred out cold.
I’m afraid this pattern will get worse before it gets better.
