Naughty Agent Part V: When Realtors Cross the Line

Send us Fan MailThe Naughty Agent series in this podcast discusses cases of disciplinary action taken against real estate agents in Ontario. In this episode the first case involves an agent who responded to a Kijiji ad from a woman looking for a place to rent. The agent made sexually suggestive remarks to the woman, charged her $700 to strengthen her rental application, and advised her to falsify documents. The deal fell through, leaving the woman without a place to live. The second case involves an agent who double-ended a property sale, representing both the buyer and the seller. The buyer discovered significant electrical issues after moving in, which cost them $8,000 to fix. The Agent failed to disclose that renovations were done without permits. A third case involves an agent who falsified signatures on an agreement of purchase and sale and submitted it for financing to a lender.
