Where can I report a real estate agent for unethical business practices?
Let me explain my situation the best I can and hopefully you won’t get too confused. I really need some advice here and am hoping some of you can assist me.
Basically, the seller’s real estate agent, broker, whatever they’re called, is holding my earnest money deposit hostage and absolutely refuse to return it, even though I asked them repeatedly for it and to cancel the whole transaction.
First off: The seller’s agent and MY agent have both flat out lied to me about the condo being empty. The seller had a tenant he was renting to. Yes, it’s empty of the tenant, but not of his belongings. There are still a few things left in there, even now. So it’s not empty. They tell me, well you can just throw those things away if you want. That’s not the point. What if this guy tries to come back for the rest of his stuff? I don’t want to be responsible for any backlash from this guy.
Second: There were three conditions the seller had to meet before I would buy the property. None of these have been met. Plus, what really chaps my ass is I was told I wasn’t getting my EMD back due to non-performance on my end. What exactly is non-performance? That’s another annoying thing. They always give me vague, canned responses whenever I ask them something. I’ve done everything I was asked to, signing and returning documents when they wanted and returning all their phone calls.
Now I just want this whole thing to end, to cancel this transaction and get my EMD back. But these people are making things more complicated than they need to be. No one is taking responsibility for their actions and always pointing the blame on someone else.
It’s not even really about getting the deposit back, it’s the principle of the situation and being honest and looking out for someone’s best interest.
Sorry if this is too long but I’d like to know where I can report the seller’s agent for being dishonest.
Oh by the way, I already tried the attorney general’s office but no one is interested in helping me and they tell me I need to talk to the seller to get this resolved.
