📝 How Greed and Bad Advice from a Realtor Nearly Made Me Homeless—and Inspired My Mission to Protect Buyers & Sellers

🏠 They Said I Had to Leave My Home — But They Were Wrong

The shady advice. The unlawful eviction. The fight I didn’t ask for. And why I built a business to protect others from it.

Let me take you behind the scenes of a Whistler real estate deal that nearly wrecked my life.

It started like many others: a property sold, new buyers moved in, and I — the long-time tenant of the coach house — became a problem that had to be “solved.”

Except I wasn’t a problem. I had a legal lease. I paid my rent. I minded my business.

But what I didn’t realize was just how dirty the backroom advice was about to get.

The Advice That Changed Everything

One day, I was handed a Four Month Notice to End Tenancy.The reason? The landlord claimed a “family member” needed to use the suite.

If you know tenancy law in British Columbia, that’s only legal if the family member actually moves in and lives there for at least 12 months.

But that’s not what happened.

The truth? I wasn’t being asked to leave for a family member. I was being pushed out to make room for higher rent and a better profit.And this wasn’t just the landlords acting out of line — their realtor and lawyer encouraged it.

Why? So the deal would close.So they’d get their commission.And so I’d be gone.

When Professionals Cross the Line

The realtor, who should’ve known the rules, instead weaponized loopholes and handed the new buyers a script:

“Say a family member needs the suite. You’ll be fine.”

The lawyer? She echoed the same advice — conveniently forgetting to mention it would be a bad faith eviction unless it was genuinely followed through.

But they didn’t count on one thing:I know the law. And I know my rights.

The Fallout Wasn’t Just Legal — It Was Personal

If you’ve ever been unlawfully evicted, you know what it feels like:That sudden, gut-wrenching panic.The scramble to find a new place in one of the most expensive rental markets in the country.The mental and emotional spiral — because it’s not just about a roof. It’s about stability. Safety. Dignity.

But instead of folding, I filed.I brought the receipts. I stood my ground.And I won.

But the Harassment Didn’t Stop There

What followed was a calculated campaign of retaliation:

• 🚪 Unannounced entries onto the property (yes, caught on camera).

• ⚖️ Legal threats over insurance that was never required in my lease.

• 🕵️‍♀️ Emails from the landlord’s lawyer filled with pressure tactics and baseless accusations.

• 🔐 Locked storage access, sudden “rules,” and isolation tactics.

All because I knew the law — and had the audacity to stand up for myself.

Why I Built Top Realtor Referral

This experience shook me.But it also lit a fire.

I realized something: There are good realtors out there — the kind who protect their clients, tell the truth, and understand the Residential Tenancy Act.But there are also realtors who will say anything to close a deal.

So I created Top Realtor Referral — a new kind of matchmaking service for real estate. Here’s how I do things differently:

• ✅ I only refer top-performing, law-abiding realtors who treat clients and tenants with respect.

• 💰 I’m fully transparent about referral fees — no shady backend deals. In fact, I share part of my fee with buyers and sellers.

• 🛡️ I help protect people from the kind of reckless advice that nearly cost me my home.

Why I’m Sharing This (Even Though It’s Vulnerable)

Most people would brush this under the rug.But I won’t.Because this isn’t just about me.

This story is about anyone who’s ever been bullied out of their rental by misinformation.It’s about buyers who unknowingly get wrapped up in illegal tactics — because they’re listening to the wrong “expert.”It’s about you, if you’re thinking about buying or selling and want to make sure you don’t get caught in someone else’s game.

Real Estate Shouldn’t Feel Like a Scam

I believe real estate should be based on integrity, not manipulation.On trust, not tactics.On people, not profit at any cost.

If you agree — and if you want to work with a realtor who actually knows what they’re doing and gives a damn — let me help you find one.
