Misled and Manipulated – Buyer Beware I trusted CJ to guide me through one of the biggest financial decisions of my life, and the experience was nothing short of catastrophic. He gave assurances that were never kept and provided misleading advice, even using strong phrases like “definitely make money” to push me into an investment I ended up trapped in. As a result, I had to walk away from the property, which caused another loss due to his false and misleading approach to earn commission on pre-construction properties. This is not just disappointment—it’s a total life disruption. I strongly caution anyone considering working with this agent to do their research carefully. Don’t expect professionalism or honesty; he will twist the story if things go wrong. He denied guaranteeing any profit, but I was fortunate to have saved our messages as proof. Thankfully, I was able to submit a complaint to RECO (Real Estate Council of Ontario), where they found he breached the code of ethics through misrepresentation. Do your research and be extremely cautious—he is manipulative, and the consequences of trusting him can be devastating. If you ever wonder why he has 5 star in all his reviews that’s cause he would ask clients to give a very good review and I am WAS one of them years ago for lease purpose. Do your research and be extremely cautious—he is manipulative, and the consequences of trusting him can be devastating.

Reply: I take any concerns regarding my professional services seriously, and I believe it is important to respond to this review because it contains a significant factual claim that I dispute. The review states that RECO found that I “breached the code of ethics through misrepresentation.” That is not an accurate representation of the outcome of the RECO complaint. The complaint was reviewed by RECO and no finding that I breached the Code of Ethics through misrepresentation was made. I have retained the correspondence documenting the outcome. With respect to the transaction itself, real estate investments carry risks and future market performance or profitability cannot be guaranteed. Throughout this process, my role was to provide information and guidance so the clients could make their own informed decision about whether to proceed. The clients were also advised that if they were uncomfortable with the investment, they should not proceed. I have retained the relevant written communications concerning these discussions. I respect every client's right to share their experience and opinions, including criticism of my services. However, I respectfully disagree with the characterization presented here and, particularly, with statements presented as fact that do not accurately reflect the outcome of the regulatory complaint. Given the history of this matter and the documentation involved, I do not believe it would be appropriate to debate the transaction further in a public review forum. For more than a decade, I have built my real estate business around transparency, communication, education, and putting my clients' interests first. I remain committed to those principles and stand behind the professional service I provide.
