This document discusses three ways that real estate transactions can go "rogue" or outside normal procedures and boundaries. The first is rogue buyer's agents who ignore clients' preferences for location and property type. Second is sellers who fail to disclose repairs or issues with the home out of fear of scaring off buyers. Third is potential drama within condo boards from conflicts between homeowners that can negatively impact owners and buyers. The document advises weighing the risks and rewards of rogue behavior in real estate.

1. 3 Ways Real Estate Goes Rogue -
and How to Weigh the Risks and
Rewards of Rogue Behavior

2. Sometimes in life, going rogue is what you do
when you have an independent spirit or when
coloring inside the lines isn’t getting good
results. Other times, to go rogue is to veer into
the danger zone, beyond the boundaries of
what is safe or will get you to your desired
objective.

3. 1. The “rogue” buyer’s agent. The rogue agent is
the one who is constantly going entirely off the
charts from what you’ve laid out as your criteria for
a home. The one who shows you a house in
Parkview when you said you wanted to live in
Oakview; the one who shows you a 2 bedroom
when you insist you need 3; the agent who shows
you condos when you’ve asked to see single family
homes - and vice versa.

4. 2. Disclosure debacles. Some sellers, given the
traumatic nature of the market over the past few
years, get worried that a laundry list of little fixes,
nicks and all the “minor” repairs that have been
done over the years they’ve owned the home will
scare off a good buyer or will otherwise ruin the
deal. Occasionally, one of these sellers goes
“rogue” by deciding not to mention a few “little
issues” they have had with the home.

5. 3. Condo Board hijinks. The potential for drama
within a Condo Board is a specter that looms large
in the nightmares and worst-case scenarios of
every condo-considering house hunter and many
owners of townhomes and condos. And because a
condo board is simply an organization made up by
actual homeowners, the hijinks and rogue behavior
can flow in both directions!
