tortious interference from a real estate agent

I have a question.

I had a property that I was under contract and wanted to flip, after checking the property I decided it wasn't for me.

So I decided to wholesale it,

The deal actually was pretty good for the right person, I posted that I had a deal in a facebook group and anyone interested can contact me.

I was contacted by a realtor telling me that he has cash buyers he can get the info to.

So I sent him the property info, I indicated clearly not to contact the owner.

What had happened is that the wholseller not only contacted the owner, he also sent him screenshots of me and him talking about me assigning the deal (the owner sent these to me)

Furious I was, I contacted the realtor and told him that what he did was very sneaky, seemed like he was trying to go behind my back. And he didn't even apologize, he just attacked and said "well your ARV was a lie you are trying to scam other investors blah blah", first off I verified the ARV with a realtor that agreed with me by running comps, second, you could've just MOVED ON. But he played dirty.

I was wondering if I can sue him for tortious interference of a contract? Is it worth it? And could I complaint him to the association of realtors and what would they even do to him?

Thanks!
