Have you ever listed a house that the owner is moving because they hate the neighbor? You certainly don't want to tell a prospective buyer that the person is selling because the neighbor is an ASS, but sometimes the buyer knows who the neighbor is and still buys.

I hate to hear on the news that a person who bought a home near the airport is trying to get the flight path changed because he hates the sound of the planes going overhead. WHAT? Are you an idiot? Didn't you notice the directional signs to the airport in front of your house when you bought it? Too bad, so sad, the airport was there first.

Well, here comes some more idiocy thanks to some homeowners that thinks their neighbors are too loud and smell. Farmers in Oregon are selling their land to developers because it can be huge profit. Then the developer builds a sub-division that, of course, is surrounded by other farms.

Well, after the house is built, a buyer who buys one of these homes starts to complain about the smell coming from the farm and that the tractors from the farm start up at 6am. Well of course they do you idiots, these farmers are trying to get your food to market, so you can eat and have milk with your dinner.

If you don't want sound, smell, or whatever next to you or around you, then you need to do your due diligence before you buy and not try to sue the person who has owned the land next to you for over 100 years. You are the new comer and you should just keep your mouth shut or sell!
