Half of the story
An Editor’s Note:
An article in the Dec. 4 Real Estate section about what buyers can do
when escrow closes and sellers don’t move out centered on the story of
one buyer trying to move into a home in La Cañada Flintridge, based on
the perspective of the buyer and her agent. However, the sellers and
their agent were not interviewed for the article, leading to a number
of statements that were not verified with the sellers and the sellers’
agent. According to the sellers, the delays were not due entirely to
their procrastination, as the article portrayed. The article should not
have been published without The Times verifying the accuracy of the
statements and without the perspective of the couple who sold the house. Link
