How to report a Shady Realtor
For the past few months, I have been looking at some multi-units. I was interested in some but all the properties I was very interested in was listed by one particular shady realtor. I called the realtor to view the property and he suggested that it is for cash buyers only. I advise him this is not disclose in the ad, he goes into a long dialogue telling me he has many offers and wants cash buyers. Six months later properties are still on the market and all his ads are the same. I had several people call him and he does the same thing. I see him using the Bait and Switch tactic. What upsets me about this realtor is, he refuses to show me the property because I am not a cash buyer, the sad thing is I wonder if the seller knows he doing this. I just told him, if he does not update the ad in a week, I will report him. Its bad enough he is not selling the property and refuse to show me the property, but also lieing to get a higher return. I don't mind a realtor making commision but this is wrong. I am newbie and I want stand from shady antics from a realtor. So my questions is have you dealt with this and how do you report a realtor doing shady business? I am in Florida. Its not right to be treated this way for greed.
