Would you buy a A real estate agent in Colorado Springs sent four children - two of them family friends - to exact her revenge on a client who passed on a lucrative contract nearly three years ago, police said. Sandra Haddad, co-owner of Colorado New Home Concepts, is accused of supplying four 13-year-old boys with the vegetable oil and spray paint they used to cause $17,000 in damage to a home in Pine Creek, an upscale subdivision in northwest Colorado Springs.
The March 23 incident targeted Greg and Lenae Thomas, who declined to sign a buyer's agency contract with Haddad in 2005. They had settled on a home worth $640,000 but reconsidered and went with a different real estate agent because of concerns about Haddad's terms. "She was angry she lost the ($27,000)commission," said Colorado Springs Police Sgt. Dale Fox.
Haddad, 49, was arrested Friday on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and conspiracy to commit criminal mischief, both felonies. She was released from the county jail after posting a $3,000 bond. Haddad has been practicing real estate for more than 20 years. If convicted, she could face the loss of her license, said Marcia Waters, director of investigations and compliance for the Colorado Division of Real Estate.
