We recently filed a lawsuit in South Florida involving allegations of unpaid real estate commissions, business interference, and improper handling of funds connected to multiple real estate transactions.
The case, filed by attorneys Ryan Sawal and Kristen Schlotzhauer, centers around allegations that a real estate professional helped generate and close numerous transactions, but was allegedly denied compensation tied to those deals.
According to the complaint, more than $80,000 in commissions remain unpaid. The lawsuit outlines allegations involving brokerage operations, title and escrow activity, commission disbursements, and the transfer of ongoing business relationships tied to real estate transactions throughout South Florida. The complaint alleges that commissions generated through multiple closings were improperly withheld, despite the successful completion of the underlying transactions. It further alleges that after internal disputes arose, business operations and transaction streams were redirected in a manner that interfered with existing professional relationships and compensation structures.
According to the filing, the dispute involves numerous residential real estate transactions, business accounts, commission payments, and brokerage-related activities spanning several months.
The claims asserted in the lawsuit include:
- Breach of contract
- Conversion
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Civil conspiracy
- Equitable accounting
- Alleged violations of Florida real estate law
This lawsuit also seeks damages, an accounting of funds, and additional relief through the court.
Attorney Kristen Schlotzhauer stated, “Cases involving overlapping business entities and financial transactions require careful investigation and aggressive litigation strategy. We are committed to pursuing accountability and protecting our client’s rights through every stage of this case.”
