Real Estate Licensee Found Liable for Misconduct for Manipulating Client Into Selling Her Home
BCFSA has found Ismail Jamal Jinnah committed professional misconduct and conduct unbecoming a real estate licensee. The misconduct findings stem from two connected real estate transactions where Jinnah pressured and manipulated his client to switch properties with another individual. Jinnah took advantage of his client, who was vulnerable because she was in a close relationship with him and trusted him.
Jinnah provided false and misleading statements to BCFSA during its investigation and mischaracterized the relationship he had with his client in an attempt to conceal the conflict of interest. The misconduct occurred in 2015 while Jinnah was licensed as a trading representative with RE/MAX Blueprint Realty. Jinnah had established a close, personal relationship with a client who owned a detached home and advised her to sell it, despite the client expressing that she did not want to sell her home.
