I got into a fantasy football pool with my real estate agent and he self appointed himself as the treasurer and held $480 to pay out the winner. I won the championship and he now owes me $280 and has not paid me in two weeks and continues to push back.
The crazy thing about this is that he is representing me on a deal right now that we are closing in the next two weeks. There obviously a huge trust issue with this guy and i don't understand how a professional can do something like this.
How should i handle this situation? How would you handle this situation?

Don't sweat the $280, until after closing the deal. Meantime, NO extra of your dollars go to him directly (or, ever again)! I know the type. They are USUALLY professional in every other regard except - can't be trusted with other people's money being given directly to them. All the best...

I think I would find a new fantasy football league without him in it. If he's finding you good deals though I wouldn't burn that bridge just keep him at arms length for the deals.

@Walter Correia Does he bring a lot to the table as an agent? If he is making you money then he might be worth waiting for the money until after the closing.
