🚗 Showcase high-end cars including a Porsche GT3
🏷️ Tag regulators directly with mocking captions
👉 Some posts even labelled authorities as:
💥 “broke and woke”

🧠 The Bigger Debate
This raises a serious question for the industry 👇
👉 How common are these practices really?
Because while this case is extreme…
❌ Underquoting complaints are not new
❌ Pressure tactics are often whispered about
❌ Transparency remains a major issue
🚨 Final Take
This isn’t just about one agent — it’s about the system
👉 A top-performing, high-earning agent
👉 A massive investigation
👉 A decade-long ban
💥 And a public response that has only added fuel to the fire
Angry househunters and sellers accused him of artificially forcing up his fees, inflating prices and deliberately under-quoting potential prices to buyers
A spokesperson for Tesolin said the posts were ‘playful banter’ between him and Fair Trading
