What a New Jersey Real Estate Agency Dispute Attorney Can Do for You After Having Problems with Your Real Estate Agent

A New Jersey real estate agency disputes attorney at The Epstein Law Firm, P.A., can help you when you are having problems with your real estate agent or brokerage firm by:

• Reviewing the details of your situation to determine if you have a valid claim against your agent.
• Securing evidence needed to support your position in the dispute.
• Advising you on your legal rights and options for resolving the real estate agency dispute, such as informally negotiating a resolution with your brokerage, filing a formal complaint with state agencies, or pursuing a legal claim to recover compensation for losses that you may have suffered due to your agent’s actions or omissions.
• Negotiating on your behalf to try to secure a resolution of the dispute, such as securing compensation for losses or a credit on the fees you owe to the agency.
• Taking your dispute to court or to trial if necessary to fully pursue your legal rights and options. 

Options for Filing a Complaint against a Real Estate Agent

If you find yourself having problems with or in the middle of a dispute with your real estate agent, the options you have for pursuing an informal or formal complaint against your agent and resolving your dispute include:

• Contact your agent’s broker — the broker is the party that owes you the fiduciary duty, while your agent is an employee or contractor of the broker. The broker may be able to resolve any dispute between you and your agent, as many disputes arise from miscommunication or differing expectations about conduct and obligations. The broker may be able to smooth out any misunderstandings, or if a serious issue is identified, may be able to offer a resolution (such as a reduction in fees to offset any financial loss you suffered). 
• Filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
• Filing a complaint with any voluntary realtors’ associations that your agent is a member of — the agent will likely list any logos of associations they are a part of on their business cards or letterhead. 
• Reporting an agent to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, the state agency responsible for licensing and governing real estate agents.

After pursuing these regulatory channels for reporting misconduct by your real estate agent, if you believe you have not obtained full relief from the dispute (such as having suffered financial losses), you may also consider filing a legal claim for compensation against the agent and brokerage.
