Powayseller did claim to not be able to do something that would be her gain and another’s loss, and yet did that very thing. What is even more puzzling is why anyone would even consider these actions unethical, and why she even has a problem with them in the first place! Services of honest realtors are required even in a down market. Furthermore, in the broader business world, millions of deals are made every day where both sides evaluate the information available and take risks that could lead to one side losing and another winning. When I place a bet at Del Mar and win and the track loses the law does not consider that unethical behavior, even if I bet on the horse with the worst odds. It wouldn’t even be unethical for someone to advise me to bet on that horse so long as the are upfront with me about the risks.
