Yikes!  I have heard of dentists pulling the wrong tooth, surgeons removing the wrong body part, etc. but I have never heard of this!

Would seem there is going to be a LARGE commissionectomy here -- or a law suit or something. Oh my.

Miriam:  This is totally bizarre.  I would have gone after this listing agent in a major, major way.  No holds barred.  Yikes.

@ Janice:  I didn't mean like "go after" them with a stick and beat them.  More like... if they made the mistate, they should be liable for damages.

I would imagine the Title company would be on the hooks. What a mess indeed. Thanks for connecting me to Active Rain. This is fun.
