Remember the San Diego real estate agent sued several months ago by a couple who blamed him for bad advice tied to the value of the home they purchased. Well, a jury took his side in the trial that ended last week.

The buyers had accused Re/Max agent Mike Little of withholding information about similar homes in their neighborhood selling for less, causing them to pay more for her $1.2 million house in 2005 than they should have.

But, according to the North County Times, it took a jury less than two hours to decide in favor of the agent.

From the story:

The Ummels said Little had failed them and thus owed them the amount they felt they overspent.

But the jury found that Little had not breeched his responsibility to the couple as their agent, nor had he been negligent.

"Mr. Little did what he was supposed to do," jury forewoman Wendi Brick said. "The bottom line is that you (as a buyer) are responsible when you sign a contract and purchase something."
