Dear Monty: We are planning on selling our home soon. My wife’s sister has a son that is a real estate agent. We do not want to use him, but we know that it may sour our relationship with her sister if we do not. We are wondering if you may have some suggestions.
Monty’s Answer: Having a relative or a close friend that has a sibling as a real estate agent has been a conundrum for decades. One of the considerations in not using him is why you do not like him.
