Sorry to hear about this situation. A previous post has it right. Things like this happen all the time in the real estate business. There are a lot of unethical people in the business. I think the best way to remedy the situation is for all sellers and buyers to boycott agents all together. I know this will never happen, so the only recourse is to always keep in mind that what motivates them is not working a deal that’s best for you, it’s working a deal that’s best for them. For every good agent, there are twenty bad ones.
