To play devil's advocate (no pun!): What if he was a plumber. Would you be just as upset about him? Does he have to be of higher moral character just because he is a lawyer?
That said, I would own a house in the hills here, we were getting pretty close to making an offer, if the real estate agent would not have proudly spilled the beans that a lawyer just had bought the horse ranch right next to it for $3 mil. It was meant to add value to the property. RIGHT! The house I was looking at was order of magnitude less in price and I want to shoot, run dogs, work on cars etc. I passed! Yes, if a plumber would have lived there, I probably would own it now!
