Hat tip to daytrip for sending in this follow-up story on the frisky realtors in New York, from Inside Edition:
When Richard Weiner wanted to sell his New Jersey home, he turned to veteran Coldwell Banker real estate agent Robert Lindsay. Weiner was impressed with Lindsay’s credentials saying, “He seemed as if he was the best realtor we ever met! He was very personable, he was very knowledgeable.”
After Weiner’s house was put on the market, he and his wife moved out. They installed a string of anti-burglar surveillance cameras around the house so they could monitor areas like the bedroom and the front door while the house was still on the market.
The homeowner had the shock of his life when instead of catching a thief he found his 58-year-old real estate agent, in the company of a mystery blonde. “These people were using your home as their personal love shack?” INSIDE EDITION’S Paul Boyd asked Weiner.
Weiner responded, “They were using our home as a cheap motel.”
