Is it unethical for you solicitor to refer a house for sale to their husband who is a real estate agent?

My parents who have been left a home after a family death and has been asked if they wanted to sell the house through their husband realestate agent. My gut feeling is that its a conflict of interest and unethical. I may be wrong but would love your thoughts. This is in Australia.

There is no reason to NOT use him. Unless there is some undue pressure, merely handing you a card and saying "give my husband a call, he can take care of you" shouldn’t be a problem. Check out what he and a few other agents have to say and simply choose the best one.
