What is the name of your state? VA
I am a licensed auctioneer and was contracted to sell a condo at auction.
A realtor showed up for the auction and during the pre-auction annoucements/questions she stated to the bidders that they may not be able to occupy the condo or legally purchase it unless approved by the condo board of directors.
All "house rules" including board approval had been made available to the bidders prior to the auction at two open houses. Further, she stated directly to me that "you have no right to auction this property".
This statement caused two of the six bidders to leave and had a chilling effect on the sale.
As it turns out, she is a resident of the complex and was upset that she wasn't asked to list the property for sale.
Lawsuit or board complaint? Seller (on his own behalf) is headed to court.
