I just posted this over at Shak & Jill asking opinions about whether readers believe something is ethical or not. An excerpt,
In addition, the buyer (now seller) still has areas not painted and still has no window screens. … The builder has the house next door listed. It has window screens installed and they match the windows of the house my friend has listed. Someone suggested she just take the screens out of the house next door for her listing.
I am NOT an attorney nor a broker so take what I say with a grain of salt… it’s my opinion only. I don’t believe the seller should take the screens from the other home, no matter how justified. I think there’s a real danger of being charged with a crime – theft – if this course of action is pursued. I would advise the seller to contact an attorney to let the builder know that they WILL provide screens for the window or they can face a courtroom if they don’t.
What do you think?
