Is there any recourse here?

[Eric Halverson]

I'm working for a group buying homes in several markets outside of Atlanta where I'm based.   I've been back and forth with this agent for a few weeks on one particular home and we finally come to terms and this is the email he sends back with the agreement.

I'll include his name so nobody else works with this clown.  Its a cheap house so the money isn't that big of a deal but the principal has me quite perturbed.  I'm not sure if I have recourse or not.  We did sign a termination at one point and instead of doing a complete contract we re-signed an amendment so that could be the out to get my commission or let the deal fall apart.  

Anybody else dealt with this type of a situation?

Hi Eric,

Attached is a copy are the Acceptance Dates on the Amendments, and no listing or selling commission from AKRIDGE REALTY, INC.. Each broker will have to be paid from their client.

The Selling broker (ERIC HALVERSON) did not disclose to the Listing broker (RUFUS AKRIDGE) that he is representing the Buyer as a Client, and it has been a long standing policy (over 20 years) of AKRIDGE REALTY, INC., that if a selling broker who is representing a buyer as Client and not a member of Mid GA MLS, will not shall in the Listing (or sale commission) Commission, the selling broker will have to be paid by the buyer his client.

Thank you,
