I listed a house for sale the other day... the house is very cute but this neighbor put this broken down house thing built outta wood like a manger which was rotting and broken. It's been there for years along with some camping equipment and sleeping bag and junk. Half of it was on the property and half was on his. the family moved it the other day to his side and now he called me at 10 p.m. and said I broke it... He wants me to have my clients call him because he says it is "irreplacable." he also claims that it was on his property which is clearly not true because the stakes are still in a line and it was 90% on the client's property.
Should I really have my clients call him? Can they get into trouble for moving something off of their property? There is more stuff on their property that they didn't move or deal with. I dont want my clients to go back to their house on the weekend and this guy bully them around.. or vandalize their property or take my sign down. what to do???

YOU do NOTHING. It is not a realtor's job to get in the middle of such disputes between neighbors. If the owners moved it, THEY are the ones who must deal with this lousy neighbor. You should direct this neighbor to deal only with the owners of the property in the future. YOUR job is to market the property and find a buyer for it.

There are some issues that might get ugly here really quick. This neigbor might be able to lay claim to that property if the stuff has sat there for a long time. Get some legal advice- real stuff that you're going to have to pay for because adice you get here can be wrong and VERY wrong. If you have to take action you must be certain that you're within the law and protected by the law.
