Bob Lindsay - Energy and Experience?

I had personally worked with two real estate agents in California, and know several others in California. All of the real estate agents that I know have understood that their primary duty is to represent their clients to the best of their ability.

Of course, real estate agents are not only found in California. Since real estate is all over the place, you can find real estate agents in New Jersey. Many of these agents, I'm sure, uphold their fiduciary duties.

And then there are others.

If you visit the website boblindsay.net, you can see his smiling face, coupled with his slogan:

Energy & Experience

I could not find a website for fellow real estate agent Jeannemarie Phelan, and the Trulia page associated with Phelan does not list her experience or skills.

However, she is alleged to be as experienced as Lindsay in certain aspects of personal relations, according to NorthJersey.com.

You see, a couple in Denville, New Jersey (the Weiners) arranged for Lindsay to sell their home. In December 2011, Lindsay, based upon his experience, said that the home would sell for $650,000, and promised to use his energy to sell the home.

By the end of December, the home still had not sold, despite Lindsay expending his energy and using his experience.

On Dec. 27, 2011, the security cameras in the Weiners’ home captured Lindsay entering the Weiners’ home at 12:49 p.m. and he was dressed casually. At 12:51 p.m., the security cameras show that Phelan entered the Weiners’ home and Phelan and Lindsay kissed and hugged in the kitchen. The security cameras further show that at 1:02 p.m., Lindsay and Phelan entered the master bedroom, undressed and proceeded to have sex on the Weiners’ bed....A while later, the security cameras show Lindsay and Phelan getting dressed.

Lindsay, presumably assisted by Phelan, continued to exert his efforts to sell the Weiners' home, and was exerting himself on January 23, 2012 when Mrs. Weiner happened to notice something on her home's security cameras. She called the police, who found real estate agent Lindsay pulling up his pants. Lindsay apparently told the police that "he was there to prepare the house for an open house."

So that's what the kids call it.

The Weiners are suing Lindsay, Phelan, and their employer at the time (Coldwell Banker, who has since severed its relationship with them). And Lindsay and Phelan, rather than being written up in New Jersey real estate journals, are being covered in places such as Gawker.
