A panicked armchair_warrior wrote on the Prospect Heights Message Board about a suspicious real estate sale–suspicious because he had no idea HIS property was on the market: “…and me nor my mom knows about this. We paid the building in full. So how the hell these realtors would put my building up for sale …”
“Only reason I even found out of this is ’cause its a hobby of mine, looking at buildings for sale, and also my relatives want to buy near me. And I found my own house for sale!!!”
Is there some nefarious plan afoot? Or did this real estate agent make an honest mistake and somehow list the wrong property? As doctorj notes, screwups are more common than conspiracies… Well, our friend armchair says he actually called the “listing agent” in question, and innocently asked if he could make an offer on his own property….
