Sounds fishy - sounds like you need an attorney.

Report that agent to the Board of Realtors. Talk to her broker as well. In addition to getting an attorney to make sure you have your own interests covered.

1. Secure the services of a lawyer, if you can afford to, or contact your local Legal Aid Society office for advice. 2. Contact the agent's Broker AND the agent's Board of Realtors 3. Contact your State's licensing office

Just a note to clarify some terminology.
In Oregon the person you are describing as an "agent" is most likely holds a "broker" license. A "broker" operates under the supervision of a "principal broker".
It's different in other states (In California "agents" are overseen by "brokers") and some of these answers may have come form out of state.
In Oregon, some who have a "Principal Broker"" license still choose to affiliate with another "Principal Broker" instead of supervising others (or themselves).
So your first line of complaint is to the Principal Broker who supervises the broker (or Principal Broker) you are dealing with. Just call their office and ask to speak with the Principal Broker. That should lead to a face to face after the Principal Broker has had time to learn the facts of the situation.
If that does not satisfy you that everything has been done correctly, you should consult a real estate attorney and file a complaint with the Oregon Real Estate Agency. If you choose that route you might want to consult the attorney before filing a complaint.
If you don't know of any real estate attorneys, I'll be happy to give you names of a couple good ones.

Some serious problems. Contact their broker first and see if their company can help resolve the issues.
How do I report concerns about an agent who I feel was dishonest?
