Neighbor sabotage kills home sale

Q: We listed our home for sale about a month ago, and our real estate agent has been conducting open houses. On more than one occasion, our next-door neighbor has made derogatory or rude remarks to the Realtor, potential buyers and other agents visiting on open house days.

One particular couple was very interested and even came back to see the house a second time -- only to have our neighbor "snap" at the wife. The couple's interest completely vanished following that incident.
