powayseller’s first obligation is to her family. She didn’t push her home directly onto the buyer. Her Realtor and the buyer’s Realtor handled the sale.
I’m not defending unethical behavior. I’m just saying that life in full of moral/ethical contradictions. If you don’t see that then you’ve not been examining life.
I believe in free markets. Buyers and sellers should do their own research. Realtors only facilitate the transactions. I see no ethical issue in being a Realtor in an up or a down market.
