Quite interesting. I believe that house is worth what the other is prepared to pay for it. If she paid for it, she either thought the price was right or really wanted it. In the UK estate agents are representing the vendor (seller), as they are only allowed to charge him. It is a common practice to have a mortgage broker at the estate agent’s office and I can’t see a problem with that. It will be interesting to know to what conclusion this case will come to.

We all got it taken to us. but there are some people out there that made money and a lot of it. My plan, work up to the next bubble and try and see it coming before everybody else.

Great information and comments!

I personally is in the process of trying to be sued by and buyer right now for unbelievable reasons to say the least. Its hard out here for agents/home owners these days how the economy is.

We take a big hit with the value of our homes, and now still we have to deal with situations like this from buyers.

> Let’s not forget that from NAR down every realtor and their image softening dog was saying that property values were going to go up, up and then up in a historic expansion of value that wouldn’t go down.

You apparently don’t know either me or my image-softening dog very well. Not EVERY realtor was spewing such garbage.
