How can I get my promised cash back from the real estate agent if he left the company?
Q: An agent from a company in the housing space promised me 3% cash back from the brokerage if I booked the house through him. He has sent this understanding over email from his company email. He also paid 2% but before he paid the remaining 1% he left the company. Now despite sending numerous emails, the company is not responding. I put a bad review on Google and their lawyer warned me for a complaint with Dubai police. I removed my review as not sure of the laws. Tell me my next steps and whether the review can get me in trouble. Also, can I go to the police with the email to get support?Jun 10, 2024
