Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California
This can't possibly be legal, but it happened & I can prove it.
The owner/broker of a real estate firm
agreed to loan us an amount much less than
requested to move if we signed a 6 mo listing (not the 3
as agreed on) with a specific one of
his 180 in house agents. We agreed as we were
desperate. He has refused to show our home, scared
away at least 4 who had submitted offers, has
threatened neighbors, & told one broker/buyer to wait
until
after April 1st for the foreclosure sale & has refused to
waive fees(even when their website says 90 days or
free & its been 5 months. I have since found out
the Associate he required us to sign with had
his license suspended in Jan. 2000 and had not been
removed until 1 month
after he signed the listing with us. The
broker's licence has also been suspended several
times for comingling funds and he had 2 years of his
license suspension stayed twice by paying $1000 fine.
No one will help us as the man apparently has a lot of
political power at all levels to the point that he even had
his Associate call to laugh at me when I threatened to
report him to the appropriate agencies. Can anyone
help? Thank you to those of you who were kind enough
to read this far even if you could not help us.
