edmonton real estate: An Edmonton Realtor's Moral Dilema - 07/13/09 03:39 AM
This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with a lady who wants to sell her house in Edmonton. It’s a fairly average home for the area, in good condition and clean. It will be a good listing, a real feather in my hat. It should sell quickly and for a good price.
But I’m not sure if I want to list it. Here’s the background story on the situation… (with her permission of course!)
