(Warning : I KNOW it's none of my business, but I care about his interests & welfare)
Our neighbour of many years is a shy, kind, old-fashioned, honourable guy. He lives in a small starter home & would like to move to a bigger house with a garden now that he's married. He contacted one EA (from a large local chain), who came out & told him she could find a buyer immediately; within 24 hours an offer was made by a man whom she introduced as her partner, who wants it as Buy To Let. He shook on a price (which was the same as a similar house in the same road was sold for back in April). He has tried so hard to find a property in our area that is a step up the ladder, but cannot find/afford anything if selling at that price. I gently suggested that it should have been marketed more widely, but he said: 'My word is my bond'. He's now looking at a tiny house 40 miles away which would mean a nightmare & expensive journey to work for both of them. He is really stressed over the situation.
AIBU to feel that this EA has been unethical & has not acted in his best interests ?
