Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Realtor Ethical Behavior

Probably not - did the Realtor have you sign any sort of buyer-representation agreement? In any case, you need to carefully read the offer you signed, as well as any buyer-representation agreement you signed with the Realtor. I'm almost certain that in one of those documents, you gave the Realtor permission to contact your lender and discuss your loan application. It is generally necessary for your Realtor to have direct access to your lender to review status, confirm certain events (such as application submission, pre-approval, conditional approval, funding committments, etc...). I'm assuming you signed the standard C.A.R. forms, and if so, I'm almost certain you gave the Realtor permission. If there is nothing in anything you signed giving the Realtor permission, then I'm not aware of any statute she might have violated.
