Predatory bait-and-switch tactics.

If I can just save one person from falling for his predatory tactics it'll all be worth it.I also walked away from the deal I mentioned above and told them to keep their $, I don't want it anymore so they understand this is more about justice.

I made a tactical mistake by trusting someone that does not deserve to be trusted in the least.  

They massivley lack transparancy throughout the entire process, they don't have a centralizzed real estate plattform like MLS, so you have to look everywhere, the system favors dual agency which brings a whole slew of issues and favors slimeball sales tactics, contracts are basically home made by attorneys so unbelievavbly rudimentary (like 2 pages, large print) and the process is increadibly messy!
