Two female real estate agents came to blows over the sale of an apartment in a fight that left both with minor injuries – and a fine.
City Sales agent Hulan Feng and LJ Hooker Ponsonby agent Soon Lee were both trying to sell an apartment in Auckland’s inner city when a physical fight broke out.
The agents were found guilty of disgraceful conduct and fined $600 each. The Real Estate Agents Disciplinary Tribunal said the fight occurred in front of a prospective buyer and a neighbour last year.
“Ms Feng arrived at the property and words were exchanged to the effect that Ms Feng considered the apartment to have been sold and that Ms Lee should therefore not be showing it.” said the tribunal.
“A physical confrontation between the defendants ensued. Each of the defendants alleged she was assaulted by the other but it is not necessary for the tribunal to make any findings about that because both defendants through counsel admitted they were engaged as alleged in a physical fight.”
Feng claimed Lee attacked her face. ”The thing is, I don’t want to go over it again because there’s not much point for her and me and I’ve forgiven her,” she told the NZ Herald. Lee described the fight as ugly.
“She was jumping up and down. She swore at me, the F word, she punched me on the chest and on the right side,” she said.
