That 'neighbor' is an azz. These aren't large realty companies vying for prime real estate. There, it'd be blood in the water and winner take all. Here, It's a 'neighbor' being an azz over .2 acres and 'half' her neighbors house. She could have done the right thing and told the owner about it when it went up for auction. Clearly, the owner was unaware and felt she was doing the right things for her property. I'm not interested in the arguments for the 'neighbor.' There's legal....and then there's 'right.'
What comes around goes around...
