CAUGHT BY THE COLLAR
BY ANGEL KNIGHT
About The E-Book
In “Caught by the Collar” Angel Knight recounts her personal experience as a Principal Broker who uncovered deceptive & fraudulent practices by a former REALTOR®. The book highlights how the removal of commission information from the MLS— an issue central to the current National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) settlement—can create a breeding ground for unethical behavior. The lack of transparency not only harms sellers but also skews the market in favor of cash buyers and large investment firms, leaving traditional homebuyers at a significant disadvantage.
Whether you’re a home seller, buyer, REALTOR®, Agent, or Broker, the issues discussed in this ebook directly impact you. The lack of transparency in real estate transactions not only limits your options but can also cost you significant amounts of money. It’s time to take control of your real estate experience by becoming informed and vigilant.
Imagine discovering that the REALTOR® you trusted to sell your property had secretly charged a 10% commission, all without your knowledge. Worse yet, this deceit was made possible by a lack of transparency in the MLS—an issue exacerbated by the recent National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) settlement. This is not just a cautionary tale; it’s a real-life account backed by hard evidence, and it’s something every homeowner, buyer, and real estate professional should be aware of.
In Caught by the Collar, I recount how I uncovered this deception and how it reflects broader issues within the industry, including the problematic NAR settlement that makes it easier for unethical practices to go unnoticed. The ebook also highlights how venture capitalists and real estate investors exploit these gaps in transparency, pushing out traditional homebuyers and skewing the market in their favor.
