What is the name of your state? FL
I recently found out my ex had her boyfriend (a Realtor) "refer" our property to another realtor in another state. The agreement listed me as joint prospect, but i never received notice of the agreement or consented. The agreement calls for the boyfriend to receive 25% of the commission received by the out of state broker upon sale. Her brother in-law (another Realtor) had offered to forgoe a commission in exchange for us to receive a 2% discount on the commission rate (6% instead of 8%). Also, we had listed previously with the Realtor so a referral seemed unnecessary. Finally, ex owes boyfriend money for purchase of auto. The receipt of the commission might be in lieu of payment but I do not have proof of such. Is it legal to have a referral agreement without consent of both joint owners? What responsibility does the referring Realtor have to communicate representation with all prospects/owners? I requested the referring agreement be canceled/rescinded but have had no response from either ex or boyfriend (referring Realtor). Thanks in advance for any thoughts
