I realize that is is impossible that ALL realtors are scum, but it sure seems like that's the case.

I don't even want to get into the story, because it's too depressing, but it looks like we won't be getting our earnest money back from the realtor.

I told the whole story to someone that I work with, who's married to a realtor, and she was pretty horrified--she apologized, even though she had nothing to do with it (nor did her husband's firm--she just felt the need to apologize due to her connection with the profession).

She said that it was probably legal, but definitely unethical. Basically, it boils down to people sucking, and money being more important than anything else. Especially doing the right thing.

My favorite part of all of this? The realtor has a Jesus fish on her car. Awesome.
Okay. [/bitter mode]
