Bad Behavior, Bad Actor
It doesn’t happen often, but I’ve certainly handled deals where a party I’m representing in a real estate transaction has been on the receiving end of, shall we say . . . “bad behavior.”
What to do?
The conventional choices are: 1) get mad; or 2) get even.
Option #3
But, especially if it’s (very) early in the relationship, I counsel a third option: “get away.”
That is, move on to another home/Buyer/Seller (vs. getting entangled with a bad actor).
That makes good sense in light of another real estate axiom I like to quote: “there’s never just one cockroach.”
