As most realtors do nowadays, our realtor gave us one third of his commission fee from seller’s agent. In order to reduce realtor’s tax, he asked the seller to directly credit us the money towards the closing cost. However, our realtor forged both our and seller’s signatures on this document. We didn’t know this until our mortgage lender Fax this document to us before closing. This didn’t harm us financially. But I think what our realtor did is not acceptable. I wonder if anyone one knows if our realtor committed forgery and what punishment he might get from realtor association.
Thanks,
