(151,599 posts)Realtors are doing showings. Guess what? I let my neighbors know about that, so they'd know that realtors would be coming with potential buyers to look at the house.
Do you suppose that neighbor didn't know his neighbor had his house on the market? I doubt that very much. Was there a realtors For Sale sign in the yard? Almost certainly. Was there a lock box on the door? No doubt.
The neighbor called the police because a BLACK realtor and his BLACK client were having a look at the house. The neighbor knew the house was for sale. Had it been a white realtor and a white client, he would not have called the police, I'm sure.
Some neighbors seem to think they get to help choose who their new neighbor's going to be. It doesn't work like that. At my old place, there's a neighbor who told me, "I sure hope you don't sell to any of those Hmong people!" I just shrugged and said, "I don't care who buys the house. You don't get to choose who that will be."
