The property was listed for $499,000 prior to the hurricane & there were offers close to that, but the owner got greedy & wanted $499,000....Then the hurricane hit.

I won't go into details, but let's just say I either got greedy or I wasn't ready to sell this one.

Another sell out who started with good intentions and got greedy.

Would I be filing as "Wholesale Trade, Real estate/rentals leasing, education, information, professional/technical services, or "other"?

Regarding the stock market- While we like the returns in our portfolio we always hedge our bets and only purchase in round lots; then use a straddle strategy to sell covered puts and calls to day traders.

This is an REI forum and guess what the traders on another forum have to say about real estate? 

Always remember this quote by Warren Buffett: 'Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful'When people are scared they will act irrationally.

Be fearful when others are greedy.

Maybe this is the trader in me seeing this as an arbitrage. 

Yes, slightly more paperwork, and DEFINITELY more liability for the brokerage, but a full commission already at 6% to me sounds a bit greedy because outside of hiring a photographer and putting it on MLS there was no marketing, minimal negotiating and counters as everyone was submitting highest and best offers from the get go.
