It was on the street she always wanted to live on and it was the exact style of the home she has been looking to buy. The property has had an open house and Kim notices potential Buyers looking inside of the home. Kim parked her car and went inside the open house.

The agent told Kim he was sorry, but the couple who were inside looking at the home paid the full asking price and the Seller just signed the contract for the sale. Kim was dismayed. She decided to walk over to the couple and proceeded to tell them the homes in this particular neighborhood were built by a shady developer, and therefore, the home has serious defects.
