Realtor, Not a Real Friend

The Washington Post had an article about a bad experience when a friend (a Realtor) asked to represent them on a home sale.

Here are some reader replies to the article:

"I suggest never doing business with friends because most people don't know how to keep business issues separate from personal friendships."

"It was an act of friendship to NOT hire the realtor friend. If anything went wrong with the sale, it would cause tension in the friendship."

"It is unfair to expect anyone to significantly hamper their own efforts by hiring someone who is incapable, unavailable, or otherwise not up to the task. True friends would never ask you to do so."
