Video Summary
Can I sue my real estate agent for misconduct or bad advice? Technically, yes, although I have in my career very few times where, if at all, where I see where you would have a cause of action against the realtor in conjunction with listing and selling your property for giving you bad advice or misconduct. Most of the time, all of this is verbal, and having to prove all of that is difficult. And so it’s very, very difficult to do. Also, you’ve been finding an attorney who would undertake to represent you against a real estate agent for that. Just because they give you their opinion as far as the value of the property, which may not be correct, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they may be responsible for any damages. Their misconduct, you would have to show that you were somehow damaged. So although technically you could bring a cause of action, I suggest that before you undertake to do that, talk to, try and find an attorney who’s willing to undertake representation and find out how much it’s going to cost you to try and pursue this matter against your realtor.
